I was given an explanation in one class, and can remember only part of it. There is a word in Flemish or Danish (somewhere in northern Europe) for that edge stitch, and, to the English ear, it sounds like the words 'winkie pin'. Thus, the English speakers picked up that term for the stitch. Maybe someone else knows what that original word is.
