Someone on a mailing list made a guess a few years ago, when the name was disclosed (don't remember who, if still on the list, please tell), I found it interesting :

Well, Apple was making a big deal of the fact that there would be Java interface for Rhapsody; they clearly thought it would help them market Rhapsody if they could emphasize the connection to Java.
