Java was created on the principles like Robust, Portable, Platform Independent, High Performance, Multithread, etc. So the suggested names were "dynamic", "revolutionary", "Silk", "DNA", etc. They wanted something that reflected the essence of the technology. Gosling came up with the name "Java" while having a coffee near his office. According to him, "Java was one of the top choices along with Silk". Since Java was so unique, most of the team members preferred Java than other names. Java is an island in Indonesia where the first coffee was produced. It is a kind of espresso bean.
