Best Answer

Based on his general manager's suggestion, the team's original owner Barron Hilton picked the Chargers name once he established the franchise in Los Angeles because he liked how fans were yelling 'charge' and sounding the bugle at Dodgers Stadium and USC games. A Charger, in this case, is a parade or war horse. Indeed, the team's original logo featured a horse and lighting bolt inside of a shield.
