I noticed the description says

N Λ N O

but:

Conventionally, except for composite words, words are written without spaces. And Λ is not a fancy A, but the capital Greek letter lam(b)da (I think it roughtly corresponds to the Latin letter l?). The uppercase of α appears to be Α (not to be confused with the Latin capital letter A). This also mixes the Latin and Greek alphabet, technically N and Ν are separate characters.

Summarised, FWIW (since I don't know any Greek), I would personally go for Νανο, or maybe ΝΑΝΟ. Your bikeshed may vary.

Thanks for the report. I chose the lambda because the glyph is nice but Itotally agree it might not be a good choice (apart from a visual point of view). Maybe it would be better to stick to "NANO (or Nano ?) Emacs" everywhere. The name suggest it is kind of a minimal emacs. I'll start to make correction on the different packages (feel free to make PR).

I think I'll stick to nano emacs to not bring further confusion.
