Where did 'Chargers' come from?

Were they named after a bunch of California trophy wives who run wild with credit cards or something?

According to the Official NFL Website, Barron Hilton agreed to the name Chargers, after the general manager, Frank Leahy chose it. Leahy chose the name upon attending a game at L.A. Dodger's Stadium and observing that the fans yelled "Charge" after the infamous bugle call. If you have ever been to a Dodger's game, the bugle sounds three times in a row, and each call is answered by the fans with a resounding, "Charge".

I had to look that up because I thought it was something with super chargers like their old disco song.

To be fair Chargers is a dope team name. I’m not sure there’s room in the league for another Bird or Cat
