Etymology
1. 1440, misdivision of ekename (1303), an eke name, lit. "an additional name," from O.E. eaca "an increase," related to eacian "to increase" (see eke).
2. From Middle English neke name, alteration (due to a rebracketing of an ekename as a nekename) of earlier ekename (“nickname”), from eke (“additional”) + name. Compare Old Norse aukanafn, auknafn, auknefni, Faroese eyknevni, Danish øgenavn, Norwegian Nynorsk aukenamn, Swedish öknamn, and German Low German Ökelname.
3. For other similar cases of incorrect division, see also apron, daffodil, newt, orange, umpire.
