One of the reasons for the vowel discrepancy is the influence of the Italian community at the time (for which "Angelino" would be perfectly accurate spelling - Signore Politi would have spelled it that way, and the old Little Italy was very close by) vs. the more historic - and more generally accurate given the City's heritage - Spanish wording (which would be "Angeleno"). - Meletant Angelino </p>
