There was speculation over the title before its announcement with ''Nine Men, One Mission'' as the expected title in some sources.<ref name="ArnoppBook">{{cite book |title= Slipknot: Inside the Sickness, Behind the Masks |last= Arnopp|first= Jason|year= 2001|publisher=Ebury|isbn= 0-09-187933-7}}</ref> ''Iowa'' was later announced as its title and was named after the band's home state of [[Iowa]].
