 The name "ThaMuseMeant" is a pun on the word "amusement", an English word for excitement or glee.The name came to the band back in the early 1990s when the band was just a trio composed of Aimee Curl, Nathan Moore, and David Tiller.The group was looking for a band name in the dictionary when they saw the word amusement, a fun question they felt their music might answer.
