In thinking about the letter J, it's spelled "Jota" in Spanish and Portuguese. Pronounced "Ho-ta" by the former and "Jo-ta" in Portuguese (the J is kind of like the word "je" in French, not like the J in Joe). Not THAT far off from ee-yo-otah. Especially considering some of the more lispy European accents (like Spain).

So... I could see them as being linked at some point in time. Of course, I could be completely off base but it's fun to think about.


And to OP2, good luck at UW!
