Kotlin/Native is the name used just for the Native targets of Kotlin.

In general, something is said to support Kotlin Multiplatform if it targets Kotlin/JVM (+Android), Kotlin/JS, and Kotlin/Native – or a subset of those – while Kotlin/Native means specifically the targets that assume compiling Kotlin to the platform's native binaries.
