Best Answer

Due to the condition of the Giants' stadium, the team began finding a new home and started to consider a move from New York. In connection to this, owner Horace Stoneham had a negotiation with San Francisco mayor George Christopher and, in the summer of 1957, the New York Giants proclaimed their transfer to San Francisco, California.

There is no room to support a stadium and parking for 80,000 fans in the inner city of New York, so the football teams (first the Jets, then the Giants) relocated their stadium and facilities in rural New Jersey (about 5 miles west of Manhattan).

Because they used to be the New York Giants.

Seriously, the word, "Giant" implies big and strong: undefeatable. Similar team names are the Lions, the Bears, and the Tigers.
