I looked around and it seems that Jitsu comes from Jui Jitsu, which comes from the Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

Some sites stated that JuJitsu is a western spelling of the proper JuJutsu.

The Kanji, 柔術, is close to both. It is not purely Jutsu, or Jitsu, but something inbetween.

However, it seems that JuJutsu is more proper given it's popular use among Japanese.
