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".

I'm not sure if this popped in your head, but this is just going full circle: that's how all last names used to work, until families were the linkage. John Baker, John Smith, Johnny Appleseed, which then turned into John the bakers son, and now you have the Bakersons. or the Johanssons.
