Why “Oak”?
The name Oak was used by Gosling after an oak tree that remained
outside his office. Also, Oak is an image of solidarity and picked as a
national tree of numerous nations like the U.S.A., France, Germany,
Romania, etc. But they had to later rename it as “JAVA” as it was already a
trademark by Oak Technologies. “JAVA” Gosling and his team did a
brainstorm session and after the session, they came up with several names
such as JAVA, DNA, SILK, RUBY, etc. Java name was decided after much
discussion since it was so unique.
The name Java originates from a sort of espresso bean, Java. Gosling came
up with this name while having a coffee near his office. Java was created
on the principles like Robust, Portable, Platform Independent, High
Performance, Multithread, etc. and was called one of the Ten Best
Products of 1995 by the TIME MAGAZINE. Currently, Java is used in
internet programming, mobile devices, games, e-business solutions, etc.
