What does “n8n” stand for? I’m assuming it’s a shortening of a longer word, like k8s.

I've been pronouncing it as "nanites" in my head since the first time I've seen it. Dunno why and now I feel just a tiny silly, though I still prefer my pronunciation.

Needless to say I never had to actually say "n8n".

i believe it stands for “nodemation”
Correct, check the "Our name" section at: https://n8n.io/press/
naaathaaan
Is that intoned like Ricardo Montalbán's "Khaaaan!" ?
I think more "Fenton!"...
