They are more or less the same  ;D
Quote
"In a humorously staged interview as the opening credits for the first episodes, when asked why they let Kenny die all the time, the makers of South Park unanimously replied," Because he's poor. "The real reason for Kenny's frequent film deaths was from Trey Parker explains in an interview. According to this, the character had already been christened Kenny, and while enjoying the Kilkenny beer brand with Matt Stone, the  running gag  "Kill Kenny" developed, which was to lead to frequent film deaths. "
Edison once said,
"I have not failed 10,000 times,
I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work."

So Nijn is the character's name?  (I figure "Nijntje" is the diminutive).
That is correct, but because she is a child,she is generally referred to as Nijntje
Quote
Does "nijn" mean something or is it just a name?
It is an abbreviation of konijn. Meaning rabbit.

I always figured her name is actually Nijntje, but the final effect is the same, because -tje is still the part that makes it diminutive, so Nijn is (sort of maybe linguistically debatable*) a valid variation of the name.

(*= Names like Noor en Noortje can be used pretty interchangeably. But there are also female names that are the diminutive form of a male name, like Geertje in which case it would be substantially weirder. It's hard to tell where an abbreviation of the word for rabbit would fall on this scale.)
