Christopher C Stacy so eloquently professed:

: "Amdahl" is for Gene Amdahl (president of his own computer manufacturing
: company, after he left IBM.)  "Jove" is an ancronym whose first letter
: stands for a person named "Jules", not the god Jupiter.

I thought JOVE stood for Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs.

Could be wrong though.
