Whilst watching Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden the other night (by the bye, part 2 is on 12th March), we came across the idiom "By Jove".
So after a little debate about its origins, I set about to look for it.

Excerpt from Dictionary.com:
1325–75; ME <>Jov- (obl. s. of compound nom. Juppiter father Jove), akin. to deus god; c. Gk Zeús (gen. Diós) Zeus
And it makes sense when you think about it now.
