## What does n8n mean and how do you pronounce it
|
||||
|
||||
**Short answer:** It means "nodemation"
|
||||
|
||||
**Long answer:** I get that question quite often (more often than I expected)
|
||||
so decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a
|
||||
good name for the project with a free domain I realized very fast that all the
|
||||
good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I choose
|
||||
nodemation. "node-" in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses
|
||||
Node.js and "-mation" for "automation" what the project is supposed to help with.
|
||||
Did however not like how long the name was and could not imagine writing
|
||||
something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on
|
||||
"n8n". Sure does not work perfectly but does neither for Kubernetes (k8s) and
|
||||
did not hear anybody complain there. So I guess it should be ok.
