The Bonnaroo Music Festival was named after the album title, after the festival's founders looked through old albums for inspiration. Bonnaroo is derived from French bonne /bɔn/, the feminine form of bon /bɔ̃/ meaning "good," and French rue /ry/ meaning "street," translating roughly to "the best on the streets."
