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.
