Band Name Origins:

According to Mike Weaver, Weaver explained that the name for the group came from some nicknames he had been given growing up. A guy at his church called him "Big Daddy," and in junior varsity football he was known as "Weave." "I played just enough JV football to realize that I definitely needed to be a musician," Weaver joked. "I would have done a better job as the mascot!" But when the school needed a name with which to identify the band for the event they played, Weaver jokingly told them to call the band "Big Daddy Weave and the Institution." The name stuck, and it was shortened to Big Daddy Weave when the band signed a contract with Nashville's Fervent Records. Submitted by: wags
Mike Weaver started the band. Being from Alabama, his nickname was Big Daddy (because he's a large man), so he named the group Big Daddy Weave (the 'r' got dropped for the flow of the name). Submitted by: Nicholas Hutchind
