here is something i found that will help. Korn achieved its name after a fan suggested the name "Corn". At first, the group rejected the idea, but later, with no alternate names, the group selected the name "Corn". Later, Shaffer suggested spelling their name with a "K" instead of a "C", and Shaffer came up with the idea to reverse the "R", so the band's name would appear as "Ko?n".[17] The logo was designed by lead vocalist Jonathan Davis.[1] Silveria explained, "the music makes the name, because Korn's a dumb name. But once we get established, it makes the name cool."[18]
i found it on some site. im not sure if its true though
I can't remember 100% but here goes... The members of Korn are from Kern County in Bakersfield, Ca (45 min from me) and it's in the middle of no where just like the movie "Children of the corn" so if you take the work "corn" from the movie title and change the "C" to a "K" to represent Kern County= KORN lol
I'm sure they have a simple version of this story but I hope this helps !

Um ... I believe it derives from a party that JD attended in his youth. He gives a full account in an interview. It's not for the weak stomached ;D
