The dominant gloss from Wiktionary reads: "Genitiv Singular des Substantivs New York".

No misspelling variants are generated for New Yorks in our index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable German patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is New Yorks, spelled N-E-W- -Y-O-R-K-S, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
