Best Answer

Los Angeles is named for the Virgin Mary under the title of “Queen of the Angels”. The original name being “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora, La Reina de Los Angeles del Rio Porciuncola”. Which translates to ”the Town of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels of the Little Portion River.” The “little portion” or porch is a chapel in Assisi built by St. Francis of Assisi dedicated to St. Mary, the Queen of the Angels in Catholic theology.
