Simply Los Angeles on the city sign? No Way, at that time it in history LA was called El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciuncula.
Translated to English; Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion.

I must be getting old to let this bug me for even 2 seconds whenever I see it.

That was the original name. "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles (the Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels") was the Spanish civilian pueblo founded in 1781, which by the 20th century became Los Angeles.
