JavaScript was crated as an alternative to the failing Java. It was originally created as LiveScript by Brendan Eich for NetScape. The goal of the language was to create a lightweight and easy to learn language with the ability to script the behavior of web page content.

In 1995, Netscape created one of the first Web Browsers. They wanted to have a "glue language" for web designers to add interactivity to web pages and to connect web pages and plug-in content such as Java applets. After Java became popular, they changed its name from the initial "LiveScript" to the name it has today.
