J Street, being an American lobby organisation aimed at Washington, derived its name from the alphabetically named street plan of Washington: the J Street is missing from the grid (the street naming jumps from I Street to K Street). Also, by association, J refers to Jewish as in multiple English abbreviations. Further, "K Street," a street in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. with powerhouse lobbying firms located on it, has become synonymous for Washington’s formidable lobbying establishment. The absence of a J Street in Washington is for historical/orthographic reasons. Thus, the choice of the name reflects the desire of J Street's founders and donors to bring a voice to Washington D.C. that, much like the missing "J Street" of the downtown grid, has been absent so far.

| - J Street, being an American lobby organisation aimed at Washington, derived its name from the alphabetically named street plan of Washington: the J Street is missing from the grid (the street naming jumps from I Street to K Street). Also, by association, J refers to Jewish as in multiple English abbreviations. Further, "K Street," a street in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. with powerhouse lobbying firms located on it, has become synonymous for Washington’s formidable lobbying establishment. The absence of a J Street in Washington is for historical/orthographic reasons. Thus, the choice of the name reflects the desire of J Street's founders and donors to bring a voice to Washington D.C. that, much like the missing "J Street" of the downtown grid, has been absent so far. It may also suggest being slightly different from the usual lobbying concerns.
