Question to anyone who might know the answer: why is Los Angeles (لوس أنجلس) two words in Arabic and New York (نيويورك) only one word? Both are transliterations of city names from other languages that can actually be translated instead (مدينة الملائكة and مدينة يورك الجديدة, respectively) but some they're transliterated instead, should the words be split up in New York like it's done with Los Angeles ?

Exactly, and it's called مَعرفة بالإِضافة meaning known by being added to something already known and Los Angeles is that already known word.
