The name "knight" originates from the Old English word "cniht," which means "young man" or "servant." It evolved in Middle English to refer specifically to a mounted warrior or nobleman. The term is also linked to the Old High German word "knecht," meaning "servant" or "laborer." Over time, it came to denote a specific social rank in medieval Europe, associated with chivalry and military service.
