only one (possibly outdated) manual example notes about "nickname" alias.

iwconfig.c recognizes only the "nick" command:

(...)
  { "nick", set_nick_info, 1, SIOCSIWNICKN, "Set Nickname", "NNN" },
(...)

--help and manpage note about "nick":

       iwconfig interface [essid X] [nwid N] [mode M] [freq F]
                          [channel C][sens S ][ap A ][nick NN ]
                          [rate R] [rts RT] [frag FT] [txpower T]
                          [enc E] [key K] [power P] [retry R]
                          [modu M] [commit]

only one small example from manpage refers to nick[name]:

       nick[name]
              Set  the  nickname, or the station name. Some 802.11 products do
              define it, but this is not used as far as  the  protocols  (MAC,
              IP, TCP) are concerned and completely useless as far as configu-
              ration goes. Only some wireless diagnostic tools may use it.
              Example :
                   iwconfig eth0 nickname "My Linux Node"
