知 = knowledge
己 = self

So it translates roughly as "knowledge of oneself."

Edit Also it can mean acquaintance. Thanks, Columbine. I was so locked into thinking of it like a name, where you break the parts down and read it (e.g., "Philip" = "philia" + "hippus" = "love horses"), that I didn't think of looking at it as an actual word.
