I believe it goes:

Kubernetes -> K8s -> "kates" -> k3s

This is correct we shortened it to "kates" -> k3s (Rancher employee)

I'm guessing they sliced the "8" down the middle which makes a "3"

They have a "5 less than K8S" tagline. I don't know if that means 5 fewer features, 5 fewer dependencies, or just "less than half the size".
