What was the name of JavaScript when it was created?
JavaScript launched in May 1995 by Brendan Eich, who used to work at Netscape. Initially, it wasn’t called JavaScript; it was given the name Mocha.
The name Mocha was chosen by Marc Andreessen, a Netscape founder. The name was changed to LiveScript in September 1995. In the same year, December, it received a trademark license from Sun and the name JavaScript came into the picture.
The general-purpose core of the language has been embedded in Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other web browsers.
