John and Paul are both names from the New Testament. Many people name their children one or both of these names because they come from the Bible and in reference to the men who first had them in the Bible..Catholic AnswerBoth of these names were used by Popes recently, Blessed Pope John XXIII was pope at the of the 1950's and beginning of the 1960's who called for the Second Vatican Council, he died just as the first session was underway. Pope Paul VI replaced him and actually saw the Vatican Council through to its completion. The next Pope to be elected, Pope John Paul I took both those names in honor of his two predecessors. Pope John Paul I only lived a month before he died. Pope John Paul II was elected and took the same name, likely for the same reason. Pope John Paul II was pope for a very long time, and was a very popular pope, thus it became very popular to name children after him.
