Taken from Wikipedia

"The name KDE was intended as a wordplay on the existing Common Desktop Environment, available for Unix systems. CDE
is an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X/Open consortium, with an
interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit. It was supposed to be an intuitively
easy-to-use desktop computer environment.[5] The K was originally suggested to stand for "Kool", but it was quickly
decided that the K should stand for nothing in particular. The KDE initialism is therefore expanded to "K Desktop
Environment"."
