Best Answer

Nobles, who all ready had names, became knights. They had the title of "Sir" in front of their name denoting they were knights. If you think about your question it would be very confusing to have the word "knight" as a name because there were many knights. It would be like calling all football players "football players" and no one would know who was who.
