During an interview, Lund and Jansen explained that the band is named after Georges Lemaître, a Belgian priest who first proposed the Big Bang theory and derived the physics concept now referred to as Hubble's law. In a 2014 music discovery piece with Interview magazine, Jansen further added "Le maitre" means "the master" in French, though the pair were unaware of this when first choosing a name for the project.
