The album is named after the protagonist, Prince Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin, in the novel ' The Idiot' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The band said they named it Myshkin because they "felt the character really reflected who [we] are as a band."
It is also stated by former member Ryan Ard in the album's liner notes that "Myshkin represents the simplicity and honesty conveyed through our music as well as our naive goal to make it in this industry, but more specifically in a world we know little about."
