Originally to be named "Houston 1836" (after the founding year of the city), the name was scrapped due to controversy within the Hispanic community (as 1836 is also the year Texas gained independence from Mexico). The name "Dynamo" was chosen as an alternate (it not only represents energy, which is a dominant part of Houston's economy, but was also the name of prior lower-level soccer clubs in the city, as well as the name of many successful Eastern European clubs such as Dynamo Moscow).
