Why are Arsenal called this?
Nearly all London clubs are named after suburbs, so what are The Gunners named after.. and yes, I know why they have the nickname!!

G'day angel77,
Thank you for your question.
Arsenal was founded by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich in 1886. They were originally known as Royal Arsenal then Arsenal Woolwich. In 1913 they moved to Highbury and changed their name to Arsenal in 1914. With Port Vale, they are the only clubs in English football not to named after a place.
I attach sources for your reference.

They originated as Woolich Arsenal FC (Woolich arsenal being an army ordnance depot in London burgh of .. would you belive .. Woolwich)
Arsenal were originally Woolwich Arsenal because that's where they originated from. An arsenal is where ammunition is kept hence the Gunners
Because they used to be in Woolwich
It was either that or the Mooners!! and seeing as they were owned by a gay night club owner it sounded more appropriate. .
Most English football clubs were originally church youth clubs or works teams representing a selection of the fittest, most athletic workers from a particular factory or office.
The club known today, simply as Arsenal Football club was originally 'Woolwch Arsenal Association Football Club', the works team for the Woolwich Arsenal Munitiopns Factory. (Woolwich is a suburban area in South London.)
See the Club History section on "www.arsenal.com" for further information.
Hope this helps.
Arsenal started out as Dial Square in 1886, Founded by the The Royal Arsenal in Woolwich . The Royal Arsenal (RA) at Woolwich provided work for thousands storing guns from the 16th Century. Since then they have also been called Royal Arsenal, Woolwich Arsenal, The Arsenal and Arsenal. The emblem holds a Cannon, therefore relating to ammunition (Arsenal) of an army.
I don't know any more than this.

Arsenal were founded as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, but were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. They renamed themselves again to Woolwich Arsenal after turning professional in 1891. The club joined the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. However, the club's geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems. In 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, they moved across the Thames to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, North London. They dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year, thus becoming one of only two Football League teams not named after a place, the other being Port Vale.
originally they were from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich and were surprisingly called Woolwich Arsenal.
Arsenal is one of ony 2 teams in English Pro Football NOT named after a place. There is no such place as Arsenal (although there is a Tube Station in Highbury named "Arsenal" after the team)

Named after Woolwich Arsenal, a district in London
it was the closest thing to A R S E AND DULL as they could get. so they chose Arsenal!
the GOONERS

originally they wanted to be called gayboys utd or battyboys city but the f.a thought that the name would attract to many gays like marc overmars and robin van persie so they came to an agreement to name the team arsenal
keeping a**e in the name was allowed if only it wasnt broken into seperate words and the nal stands for needs another length
hence arsenal keeping the ritual gay link but hidden in away that only the real fans understand
because the fans are so quiet the apponents could easily be hard farting out thier ****, hense **** pals = Arsenal
