The usual explanation is that it is a form of Christ, much like another somewhat dated mild expletive, crikey, which came along later; but it’s just possible that it’s a variant form of crime. It might be related in some way to Jiminy (as in Jiminy Cricket), which appeared at about the same time. This was possibly a modified form of Gemini, but was equally likely to be based on the Latin Jesu domine.
