We think it comes from the shoes, 'K Swiss'.

Sorry, no cigar this time... The shoe company 'K Swiss' was formed in 1966. Conversely, the German surname Swissis actually a topographically-oriented name, given to persons living near stream, hill, a type of tree, or a church. The further a person lives from their home territory, the larger the territory they were named after. The German surname Swiss tells us that the first holder of that name immigrated to Austriafrom Switzerland.
