Lead Zeppelin became Led Zeppelin because the band thought people would pronounce it LEED.
Rumour has it that a member of The Who, claimed the band would go down like a lead balloon.

And, I believe, the Jackson Five got their name because they were all called Jackson and there were five of them

A LEED balloon?

From Quora (and several other sources)..
"As for the “Led” part it was their manager, Peter Grant, a veteran music producer and manager that suggested that they change the “ lead” to “led” as the stupid Americans would mispronounce it. “Zeppelin” was untouched as “Zeppelin” in England is their word for “Balloon” hence the Lead balloon"

Zeppelin is an eponym, i.e. an object named after a person. Count (Graf) Zeppelin was the German designer of those huge pre-war airships.

I saw the most beautiful car today, it was white with white seats, just the most sleek car I've ever seen.
Anyway, I saw the big T and realized it was a Tesla.
I'm not really a car person but WOW, that was a work of art.

The Graf Zeppelin airship made the first regular commercial transatlantic flights, flying from 1928 to 1937 - the year of the Hindenburg disaster that sounded the death knell for the gas-filled giants
The USA controlled supplies of non-flammable helium, but denied it to the Germans after WW1, so Gemany had to rely on highly dangerous hydrogen.
