I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.

Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript

Is based on the Java island coffee, the preferred variation of James Gosling. This is why the Java logo is a cup of coffee.

Edit: I made that up, but looks like it's true?
