Boy are you wrong. 5 seconds of google found me this:

There is a very well written description of nibs on that page. After
reading it you can pretty easily figure out where the term 'Cocoa' came
from.

Some interesting speculation:
a .nib file is for Next Interface Builder.
"Nib" is also the name of the meat of a cocoa bean. This is the part
you make chocolate out of, etc.
At first I thought it was just someone being clever naming the .nibs,
but Cocoa came after .nib, not the other way around. Maybe it was
someone being clever naming Cocoa?
