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.
