When Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo sailed into San Diego Bay, on September 28, 1542 he named the port San Miguel, in honor of St. Michael the ArchAngel whose feast day was the 29th. San Miguel it remained until Sebastian Vizcaino sailed into the bay on November 10th 1602 and renamed it San Diego for San Diego de Alcala (St. Didicus).
