The first Titans team started in the AFL and was one of the original teams that started the AFL. They were the New York Titans (A.K.A the Titans of New York) from 1960 to1963, then changed there name to the New York Jets.
At the same time, the Houston Oilers were also, one of the original teams that started the AFL. They were the Houston Oilers from 1960 to 1996.

The Tennessee Titans were started out in Houston. They started out as the "Houston Oilers" from their founding in 1960 until the 1996 season. Then in 1997, when the team moved to Tennessee, they were known as the "Tennessee Oilers." A season later, in 1999, the team's name changed to the "Tennessee Titans" due to fan requests, and the fact that it was their first season at their new stadium (currently LP Field)

Tennessee Oilers for two years after moving to Tennessee. Before moving they where the Houston Oilers.

Answer 5

First they were the Houston Oilers, then when they moved to Nashville they were known as the Tennessee Oilers for two years before they changed the name to the Titans.
