If that were true, then the TNC (the BNC's sibling) would stand for

That's why, as folklore has it, the T stands for "Tiny." But there are
even smaller coax connectors.
N, BNC, and TNC connectors all fit together to a certain extent.
And C connectors will fit into PL-259 UHF connectors if you bang them
together with vise-grips and wrap them in duct tape. But there will be
an impedance mismatch at the join.
