Nobody knows for sure! It's like calling US citizens "Yanks" or "Yankees" I think. Some people think it is a derivation of Canada and "inuq" which is an eskimo word for "Man", but it was already in use in the early 1800's to describe French Canadians who lived in New England, usually spelled Kanuk, or K'nuck. Go figure.In any case, and by any other name: WE ROCK!
