Sun Microsystem in 1991 has developed the language 'oak' and it was renamed as java in 1995.it is because of two reasons:
1.the name oak-"which represents high growth same like the Oak tree" is already has copyrights by that time by another company
2.it has undergone many changes and made all its defects disappear
The original plan was to call the Java language "Oak", but it turned out there already was a programming language of that name, so they changed the name. Java is of course unrelated to this other "Oak" language, the one that had already reserved the name.
First when it was developed , it was named as Oak , then after sometime its name changed to Green , finally it is renamed as "Java" from Java Coffee . It is also said that a lot of this coffee was consumed by java creators at that time .
the java language get it first name as OAK because of the oak tree in front of gosling's window in his office
The first name of the Java Programming was Oak. It then went by the game Green and finally Java from Java coffee.

The programming language known as Java was named "Oak" originally.
Yes you should go with java, it is used much more than .net currently. Java gets its name from Sun Java how owns java. Before java was released to the public it was called oak because of an oak tree outside of the office of the person who created it. Some people think it got its current name because oak is not a good name for a language, and that it took lots of coffee (java) to make java.
The language was initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office. Later the project went by the name Green and was finally renamed Java, from Java coffee, the coffee from Indonesia.
It was originally supposed to be named Oak, but they found that a language with that name already existed, so they had to look for a different name.
Java is a general purpose, high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A small team of engineers, known as the Green Team, initiated the language in 1991. Java was originally called OAK, and was designed for handheld devices and set-top boxes. Oak was unsuccessful, so in 1995 Sun changed the name to Java and modified the language to take advantage of the burgeoning World Wide Web.
The Java Programming Language was originally named Oak because of an oak tree that stood outside one of the founders' office. It was then renamed to Green, and then renamed to Java because supposedly the creators of the Java Language consumed large amounts of Java coffee.
"Oak" was just a working project name used, supposedly named after an oak tree outside James Gosling's office window. When it was officially released, they didn't want to keep the current project name and chose to switch it to "Java".
