I heard that Los Angeles is actually a shortened name of the city. The full name had like six words in it. I've tried to find the full name by searching google, but I can't find it. Does anyone know if this is true, and what the full name is?

Also, cities like San Francisco, San Diego, and Santa Barbara could be looking for new monikers.
The reason?
They all have religious meaning in their names.
Los Angeles refers to the "City of Angels," while the others refer to names of saints. In fact, the official name of Los Angeles is "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion."
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, a strong legal argument could be made to force municipal name changes, based on the argument the names violate the so-called separation of church and state.
