==Group Name Origins==
;BEYOOOOONDS
The name was chosen with hopes of the group growing freely towards the future, beyond their existing framework, with the group aiming for an ever-changing appearance similar to slime.
;CHICA#TETSU
Chica is Spanish for "girl" and tetsu (哲) means "philosophy". The two words were brought together to create a group name that means "girls who think deeply of things".
;Ame no Mori Kawa Umi
The name represents sources of life such as nature, and each of the founding group members has a part of their name with a meaning related to nature: kurumi (くるみ) meaning "walnut" from Takase Kurumi, ta (田) meaning "rice field" from Maeda Kokoro, hane (羽) meaning "feather" from Yamazaki Yuhane, oka (岡) meaning "hill" and nami (波) meaning "wave" from Okamura Minami, and momo (桃) meaning "peach" from Kiyono Momohime.
;SeasoningS
The name comes from "Season" as in the four seasons of the year, but also comes from "Seasoning" as in when one adds spices to their dish for flavor. These two meanings represent how the three members add a delicious flavor to their performance and add vivid colors to the group as a whole due to the skills that the members are good at.
==Mascot==
Beyo-chan (ビヨちゃん) is an official mascot who often appears on BEYOOOOONDS goods since Ouchi demo Beyonds Gakkou ~Sougouteki na Gakushuu no Jikan Hen~ episode 2, which was uploaded to the official BEYOOOOONDS YouTube Channel on July 25, 2020.
