Exactly, it never happened. It's my understanding that they were mainly known as the Highlanders until around 1913 or so when they simply started identifying themselves foremost as the Yankees around that time. Nothing official. The name "Highlanders" only referred to their park, Hilltop Park, which was at the top of NYC. "Yankees" was just a nickname that slowly stuck.
