Fra Wikipedia:
In April 1967, Brooker began working as a singer-songwriter and formed Procol Harum with non-Paramounts Keith Reid (poet), Hammond organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Ray Royer and bassist David Knights.[3] Guy Stevens, their original manager, named the band after a friend's Burmese cat.[4] The cat's "Cat Fancy" name was Procul Harun, Procul being the breeder's prefix.[5]
In the absence of a definitive origin, the name attracted various interpretations,[6] being said to be Latin for "beyond these things" (but the correct Latin translation of "beyond these things" is "Procul his")[7] or translated as "of these far off things", the genitive plural "harum" perhaps agreeing with an understood "rerum", "things".[8] The name of the band is frequently misspelled; often with "Procul", "Harem", both, or other variations.
