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.

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.
