The name "Portishead" was chosen by the band’s founding members—Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons, and Adrian Utley—who came together in the British town of the same name, located in Somerset. While this might seem like a straightforward origin, there’s more to the story. The band originally wanted a name that would evoke a sense of place and mood, and Portishead was chosen as a way to reference a town that had a certain atmospheric quality.
