Darwin is the name of OS X kernel so that is plain okay. The release 13.0.0 means NeXTSTEP 13.0.0 (Do you remember that what was NeXTSTEP later became OS X?) which means OS X 10.9.0. The equation is that NeXTSTEP a.b.c = OS X 10.(a-4).b (OS X 10.0 = NeXTSTEP 4, the last version of NeXTSTEP that is publicly available was 3.3)
