RKRN comes from an initialism for 落乱(らくらん)/RaKuRaN short for 落第忍者乱太郎 (らくだいにんじゃらんたろう).
>The original manga title: 落第忍者乱太郎 (らくだいにんじゃらんたろう)
>The anime title: 忍たま乱太郎 (にんたまらんたろう)
As far as I can tell from google, NHK Educational TV, which is the TV channel the anime airs, doesn't allow them to use the word 落第 for some reason despite it just means the act of failing an exam or repeating a grade in school, so they changed the original manga title to 忍たま乱太郎.
