Answer:

The name "azimuthal quantum number" for ℓ was originally introduced by Sommerfeld, who refined Bohr's semi-classical model by replacing circular orbits with elliptic ones. The spherical orbitals were similar (in the lowest-energy state) to a rope oscillating in a large "horizontal" circle.
