A baby boy born in the Philippines on April 8 was named John Covid Castillon by his parents Jose and Jemima.
Here’s how Jose, a policeman, explained the baby’s name:
As one of the frontliners in the fight against COVID-19, Castillon said that he chose to give his son the name John Covid because “John” meant God was gracious and merciful, and he thanked the Lord for keeping them safe and their baby from COVID-19.
Before John Covid, the most recent virus-inspired baby name we covered was Sanitizer.
