Los Angeles: Originally called by the Spaniards "Pueblo de la Reine, de los Angeles" (The town of the Queen of the Angels), hence Los Angeles, "the angels."

However, the direct, exact translation of "Los Angeles", if I'm not mistaken, is "the angels".

"Pueblo de la Reine, de los Angeles"

Was it not Cuidad de Nuestra Senora, La Reina de Los Angeles?
