The second tab of the kittens game is where I force my kittens into labor. I noticed the name change sometimes but wasn't sure if my mind played tricks with me. Recently it happened again, and I know for sure now. Is this due to updates of the game, or related to some other in-game property?

I looked into the source code and it turns out to it is directly related to the amount of living kittens. The relevant part of the code is the following: (in village.js)
Right now I have 55 kittens, so I just upgraded from Settlement to Small Town. I am not going to try to kill some kittens to check if my village downgrades again, but it should.
