Jenkins(software) Wikipedia page says: 'As a result, on January 11, 2011, a call for votes was made to change the project name from "Hudson" to "Jenkins".'.
Reading into Leeroy Jenkins wikipedia page, we can safely assume, that the meme appeared in year 2005.
That means, whoever was making a suggestion for the new 'Hudson' name, could suggest 'Jenkins', based on popular meme. Can someone confirm/disprove?
I assume inspiration for the name comes from the novel City by Clifford D. Simak The novel primarily focus around the Webster family and their robot servant, Jenkins.
