I found a webpage with a few explanations: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/judaism/FAQ/11-Miscellaneous/section-14.html One explanation is that the word kike originates from the word ‘keikl’, in Yiddish, which means ‘circle’. At Ellis Island, one of the main immigration checkin points, immigrants were intially grouped by religion and language in order to make it easier for them to communicate with each other and also to be identified more quickly by waiting relatives there to meet them.
