Where did the beatles originate?

John Lennon formed the Quarrymen with some school friends in March, 1957. Paul McCartney joined in July and George Harrison joined in February, 1958. In 1960, the name varied from the Beatals, the Silver Beetles and the Silver Beats, the name focussing on the Word "Beat". Later in 1960, a slip of the tongue announced the band as the Beetles, which soon became the Beatles.
