The Yankees were originally called the New York Highlanders from 1903 through 1912. Newspapers refferred to them by their nickname, Yankees, which was a term used to describe Americans who lived in the North. Headlines would say things like "Yankees win opening game from Boston, 2-1". The name got more popular in those 10 years and when the team changed ballparks in 1913 they exclusively used the name Yankees and soon after they officially changed their name to The New York Yankees.
