No you can't.
Originally it was called Mocha and went through a series of name changes and branding before Netscape acquired a trademark license from Sun Microsystem and settled on Javascript.
> JavaScript was created in May 1995 by Brendan Eich while at Netscape, reportedly in only 10 days. It was originally named Mocha, a name chosen by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen, but was renamed four months later to LiveScript. At that time, Sun Microsystems owned the trademark for JavaScript. Netscape acquired a trademark license and renamed LiveScript to JavaScript in December 1995. It was somewhat of a marketing maneuver since Java was really popular at the time. The languages are not related at all.

Seeing Mocha, later renamed to Java, seems to partially confirm that there's a coffee backstory somewhere. [0] https://www.powerthesaurus.org/coffee https://www.powerthesaurus.org/coffee
