THere was never a person called "Wounded Knee".
The famous massacre that took place in December 1890 was not named for a person but for a small creek nearby - chankpé opi wakpála or Wounded Knee Creek in Lakota. This name existed long before the battle took place and probably refers to a long-ago fight between the Lakotas and another tribe such as the Crows, when a warrior on one side was wounded by an arrow in the knee.
