The New Orleans Pelicans were named in 2013 when the franchise rebranded from the New Orleans Hornets. The name "Pelicans" reflects Louisiana's cultural heritage, as the brown pelican is the state bird of Louisiana and symbolizes the region's rich wildlife and ecosystem. The choice aimed to foster a stronger local identity and connection with the community, embracing the unique character of New Orleans.
