The N of the N connector is the initial of the same person as the
initial in the BNC connector.

are two examples of sites with information on the naming. Paul Neill
is the "N" namesake. The other initials are up for serious debate.
The usual limiting factor is the diameter of the conductors bringing
the RF to the connector, and to some extent the diameter of the
center pin of the connector. They are used in the Microwave radar
world with much higher pulse ratings than 1500W, but the "average
power" would be much lower.

RF-wise an N-type and BNC-type connector are actually very
similar. The differences are basically in the outer shell for
mechanical connection.
To see how similar they are try this:
