J Street? J?

A close friend suggested that we search for the true meaning of the "J" in J Street.

Well, there's:

Jabberwocky
of Lewis Carroll fame and a film by Terry Gilliam.

First, it's a poem of nonsense verse:-

..."Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"



...The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!...


and this:

jahiliya

1. (Islam) The age of ignorance, barbarism and unbelief in Arabia before the coming of Islam; more recently its meaning has been expanded to mean Western non-Muslims.


Any other suggestions?
