Minnesota is know as the land of a thousand lakes (actually there are many more than this). When the Lakers played in Minnesota this is what there name refered to - the lakes of Minnesota. When the team moved to Los Angeles they kept their name, so the 'Lakers' refers to the numerous lakes of their original home.

Minnesota is the land of ten thousand lakes, not a thousand as Yank said.
