The name Los Angeles is Spanish and was first used in 1765 when establishing Spanish Missions.
The name came from an approaching Franciscan religious celebration that honored the mother church of the Franciscans, the Porziuncola ("small piece of land") in the Italian frazione of Saint Mary of the Angels.
The name first given to the settlement is debated. Historian Doyce P. Nunis has said that the Spanish named it "El Pueblo de la Reyna de los Angeles" ("The Town of the Queen of the Angels"). For proof, he pointed to a map dated 1785, where that phrase was used. Frank Weber, the diocesan archivist, replied, however, that the name given by the founders was "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles de Porciuncula," or "the town of Our Lady of the Angels of Porciuncula."
The Name of the Los Angels or City of Angels is unique, and I don't not know or any other city by that name.
If there is a city by that name, they COPIED it from the origional.
