Why did Angelo Roncalli choose the name John XXIII when he became pope?

There had been another Pope John XXIII many years back. Many considered him to have been an antipope so by taking that name Roncalli put the question to rest forever. He may have had other reasons for choosing the name also, but this was the most telling. Anyone knowing something of the papal history would have caught the link immediately.
