Best Answer

Yankees is not an acronym and its letters to not stand for anything.

It is an Anglicization of the name 'Jan Kees' the name given to characterize the Dutch settlers in Nieuw Amsterdam. (in Dutch the leeter J is pronounced like a Y)

Jan Kees was the equivalent of Uncle Sam for the US or John Bull for the English.
