They started out as the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers. The name comes from so many trolley tracks in the city of Brooklyn that people were dodging and it was a popular nickname for people who lived there. It was later shortened to Dodgers.

How did the California Angels get their name?

"Los Angeles" is Spanish for "The Angels." Or, perhaps more to the point would be, "The Angels" is English for "Los Angeles." The Angels were originally called the Los Angeles Angels; the name "Angels" coming from the city's name, "The City of Angels." Los Angeles translated means "City of the Angels". This is most likely how the team got their moniker. Los Angeles means "city of Angles" so the team in result the team named the Angels.
