There are 2 main theories about the name Jew's Harp:
1. it is just a misspelling of "Jaws Harp", deriving from the peculiar part of the body used to keep the instrument and to propagate its sound.
2. this instrument was typical of the Jewish communities of central Europe, perhaps remotely imported from Eastern lands.
No good being afraid of your own shade ;)

I would get one, but I would end up chipping the whole of my front set of teeth. I'll stick to playing the didgeridoo, guitar and harmonica.

@dvdsmlprstylr . Well 2 options: wear a tooth guard like a boxer or use the type that are played off the teeth...
