Probably from 本 == book, pronounced hon in Japanese. (The author also appears to be Japanese.)

Right. The original fork name was "GitHon" because hon == book in Japanese.

The author recently renamed "GitHon" to "HonKit" due to Git being protected by U.S. trademark law.

Hope they don't run into any problems with the "honk" memes.
