Shhhhhh don't tell the geniuses at the ACLU what the real names of some of the towns in the southwest stand for. Here are the translations in English:

San Francisco, California - Saint Francis, California
Los Angeles, California - City of the Angels, California
San Jose, California - Saint Joseph, California
San Antonio, Texas - Saint Anthony, Texas
Santa Cruz, California - Holy Cross, California
Sacramento, California - Holy Sacrament, California

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

You forgot Corpus Cristi (in Texas), which means "The Body of Christ."

And LA's full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles sobre el Río Porciuncula, which means "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels on the River Porciuncula."
