It was what a one record producer penned them as he sent one of their demos to a record label, the name was never intentional by the actual Beach Boys. They were originally going by "The Pendletons."

The Beach Boys got their name from an executive at their first record company, Russ Regan. They originally called themselves the Pendletones, because they thought that if they took that name, the Pendleton shirt company (which made the checkered wool jackets they wore) might give them free shirts and jackets. Regan, though, heard their song "Surfin'" and gave them the name Beach Boys.

When did the beach boys break up?

They technically broke up in 1998. After Carl Wilson passed away, Mike Love fired Al Jardine. Brian Wilson had left the group in the late 80s, but still occasionally made guest appearances with the group throughout the 90s. In 1998, Mike Love got permission from the other surviving ex-Beach Boys to tour under The Beach Boys' name. The current "Beach Boys" includes Love and longtime keyboardist Bruce Johnston, and several sidemen. Al Jardine and Brian Wilson each tour with their own bands.
