Angelino

City of Angels

An Angelino is a resident of Los Angeles, California.

The term carries a casual, insider quality—someone who knows the freeways, the neighborhoods, the culture: As a lifelong Angelino, she never learned to parallel park.

Also spelled Angeleño, reflecting Spanish influence.

The feminine Angelina is rarely used in English.
