They don't really have a nickname. You could say "Navajo" is their nickname. It comes from a Tewa Pueblo Indian name for them. Their name for themselves in Navajo is Diné (two syllables, second one high tone, "di-ne" - i as is "bit", e as in "met").
Sometimes in early times the Spanish confused the Apache who are their linguistic cousins. The Apaches were also known to the Spanish by many names for different groups and also early on as Coyotero, Querechos or Llanero.
To confuse things even more, the unrelated Comanches, Mohaves, Hualapais, and Yavapais were sometimes known as Apaches as well.
