TCU, or Texas Christian University, adopted the name "Horned Frogs" due to the presence of the Texas horned lizard, commonly referred to as a horned frog, which was prevalent in the area when the school was founded in Fort Worth, Texas. The horned lizard became the university's mascot because it was considered a symbol of tenacity and defense. The name was officially adopted in the early 20th century and has since become an integral part of the university's identity.
