<div id="ygrps-yiv-623807049">For those of us who still speak the language of the Vikings the name <br/>
name of York was in the Old Icelandic Sagas written as Jórvík.  Jór is <br/>
another word for a horse.<br/>
Taking this to the modern times we are talking about the Horse City or <br/>
the City of Horses,  -Los Angeles  why not Los  ?<br/>
