History of the name
First described in the 1930s a knickerbocker was a descendant of the original American settlers from Holland. The name comes from the fictional Diedrich Knickerbocker, who wrote Washington Irving's History of New York. Knickerbockers are also old-time knee-length men's pants that are rarely seen on golfers. How the name is connected to the sundae is unknown.
