Why is LA called the city of Lost Angels?
No, there's no fallen in the name. Los Angeles just means “The Angels.” If that sounds like an odd name for a city, that's because it's just part of the original Spanish-language name of the settlement: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río Porciúncula.
