Jove was a name for the roman god Jupiter, and the Romans used to swear by him in court, hence the expression 'by Jove' as an oath of sorts.

"By Jove" is an expression that dates back to ancient Roman times and is used as an exclamation to express surprise or emphasis. It is a way of invoking the Roman god Jupiter (Jove) in a less offensive manner than some other swear words or phrases.
