Except Oracle lawyers wouldn't like Java being literally used as part of the name, though I hate to say this.

That's why javaslang was renamed to Vavr: https://github.com/vavr-io/vavr

I always thought Kava would be a good name for a Kotlin/JVM framework.

Java was named from the coffee from Java, Indonesia. Kava is a beverage consumed throughout the Pacific Ocean cultures. Similar enough :)
