I used to have Ford Galaxy "XL500" I liked that name. The car not so much.

Think of s390x and "s390 with extensions", a la 370/XA. The external
marketing term "z/Architecture" was very late. Based on
Shoulda been 's390z'. IIRC it was decided less than a year before the
mainframe got rebranded to 'z'.

To further Alans point, this manual is loaded with references to "i390":

The term “i390” has been socialized outside of IBM. It is the name given by
IBM to the micro-architecture underneath S/390 and z/Architecture. It is

there was an i370, which died a long time ago (based on the very first port
of what was then not yet z/Architecture, s390 took its place when IBM
decided it'd participate in GNU tools development way back circa 2000/2001.
