 ## What does n8n mean and how do you pronounce it?
 
 **Short answer:** It means "nodemation" and it is pronounced as n-eight-n.
 
-**Long answer:** "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected)
-so I 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 quickly that all the
-good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose
-nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses
-Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with.
-However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing
-something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on
-'n8n'." - **Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io**
