Spanish is where the phrase 'El Niño' comes in terms of language. The masculine definite article 'el' means 'the'. The masculine noun 'niño' means 'boy child'. Together, they're pronounced 'ehl NEE-nyoh'.
A modern use is in reference to the acting out of disruptive weather patterns along coastal South America. The disruptions are caused by unusual warming of the waters of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, and by unusual rising of surface air pressures over the western tropical Pacific Ocean.
The ocean's warming takes place in December. Coastal Peruvians particularly notice the changes during the Christmas season. It's for that reason that the event carries the nickname of 'El Niño'.
El Nino means boy child in Spanish. It also refers to the Baby Jesus.
Since the weather pattern El Nino often occurs around Christmas time, people started to call it by that name.
