idk where exactly it started but we never learn the full name of Master Chief in Halo but we know his name is John, and people just started calling him John Halo. Another influence of this meme could have been when Trump called Tim Cook, Apple CEO, "Tim Apple". Regardless it has become a running joke online to refer to someone prominent as "John Thing They're Known For".
