well,it was a greek word,that was translated into "unihorn" in english,but they made it into unicorn so it sounds more as the greek one.

Yours is funnier.

Yet yours appears more logical.

Shadow is right - it came from a combination of greek and spanish,
Uni - unique, one, individual
Corn - Cuerno - that's corn in spanish, and and ceros is corn in latin/greek.
Really, corn/horn was always spelt with a C in most languages and still is, often.
