Since we have someone who worked on these projects here, there was a report a couple of years ago about Borg and its successor, then called Omega. Is Kubernetes related to / a renamed Omega?

Omega is a separate system than both Borg and Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is heavily inspired by both Borg and Omega, and incorporates many of the ideas from both, as well as lessons learned along the way. And many of the engineers who work on Kubernetes at Google, also worked on Omega and Borg.
