Former known as Wicked Lester in the really early years (before Ace Frehley & Peter Criss joined). The band then became Kiss. Paul Stanley came up with the name (taken from the New York Dolls song "Looking for a kiss"), and Frehley created the now-iconic logo (making the "SS" look like lightning bolts). The runic letters happened to look similar to the insignia of the Nazi SS, or Waffen-SS, a symbol that is now illegal to display in Germany. Therefore, in Germany, all of the band's album covers and merchandise used a modified version of the logo, in which the "SS" looks like a backwards "ZZ."
The band's name has been rumored to have many hidden meanings, among them an acronym for "Knights In Satan's Service." The band has consistently denied this, stating that Paul Stanley simply chose the name on the spur of the moment.

I heard it means knights in satan's service, but that was from a source that said 311 means KKK (which is obviously not true for anyone who listens to 311), so I don't buy into it.
