The group's name is Latin and means "completely", "entirely" or "utterly". Of the name, Sheen Doran said, "It has a number of meanings, such as 'heart and soul', 'root and branch' and 'totally different'. It seemed to describe what we were. Plus, it's strange-sounding and hard to pronounce, so it sticks in your mind."

The group was renamed Total Coelo in the United States to avoid confusion with the American group Toto.
