Definition nickname

Etymology

From Middle English nekename, alteration (due to a rebracketing of an ekename as a nekename) of earlier ekename (“nickname”), from eke (“also, additional”) + name (“name”). Compare Old Norse aukanafn, auknafn, auknefni (“nickname”), Danish øgenavn (“nickname”), and German Ökelname (“nickname”).

For other similar cases of incorrect division, see also apron, daffodil, newt, orange, umpire.
