The "gn" in most open source applications stands not for "GNOME", but for "GNU". GNU, in case you haven't heard, stands for "GNU's Not Unix!", one of the earliest and essential parts of the free (as in speech) software movement. This used to divide Gnome and KDE folk because KDE, early on, was not free. That is (to some degree, at least) no longer the case. HTH.
