How 'java' got its name and what it stands for?

Answer Posted / ranganathkini

"Java" is supposed to have got its name from one of the
members of the original developer team Kim Polese. But it is
widely believed that Java (originally called "Oak") was
concieved by the original creators at a local coffee bar.

To credit this incident, the creators used a magic number as
a header to all the Java bytecode class file. The number:
0xCAFEBABE
