the word itself is short for Knickerbockers, which is the old style of pants that New Yorkers wore back in the Ellis Island days...you know, the kind that stop after the knees...

It's short for Knickerbockers. A Knickerbocker is a descendant of the original Dutch settlers of the south end of Manhattan Island in New York City (previously known as New Amsterdam).

The first ownership for the Knicks were four guys named Nick and they decided they wanted to name the team after them, but one guy spelled it Nic, the other Nik, then Nicc, and Nick...they couldn't decide which way to spell it so they all agreed on "Knicks". Thus, one of the most average sports organizations ever was invented.
