My uncle claimed that it was the name of a glue factory candidate thoroughbred that ran low value claiming races at Narragansett Park and Suffolk Downs. But both are probably true. Online sources cite both giamope and that it's a combination of java and mocha referring to a particular type of coffee, so that might be the reason for the race horse's name.
I always preferred jabroni myself as a term for some mopey dude..
