The history of the name dreadlocks is unclear. Some authors trace the term to the Rastafarians, a group of whom apparently coined it in 1959 as a reference to their "dread", or fear, of God.
His adopted name, "Dread", had multiple meanings: combined with his first name it evoked Dred Scott, a black slave who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom during the 1850s, after having been held in a free state; was an allusion to the dreadlocks of Rastafarians; and reflected a desire to cause "dread" among others.
