South American fisherman have given this phenomenon the name El Nino, which is Spanish for "The Christ Child," because it comes about the time of the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child-Christmas.

Gilbert Walker and Jacob Bjerknes are credited with the discovery of El Nino. They were both masters and giants of 20th century meteorology.
