👉 The name "John Paul Pet" comes from a Christian legend where a man named John Paul was executed in the 2nd century for being a Christian, despite his status as an aristocrat or wealthy individual. The term originated from the fact that John Paul's body was found wrapped around a statue of St. Paul in Rome.
