Reminds me of around a week ago. On break at work, I heard some others laughing about how the Chinese named their virus after beer. I of course just internally facepalmed over how stupid they were, as if they had never heard of the name of the sun's outer layer. I mentioned this to my brother, and he said it's funny I should mention that, as his friend was just telling him about how stupid China was going to feel after Canada's Heineken virus kicks the Corona virus's ass. I again respond with silence... before admitting to my brother "okay, that one was funny."

It's the same in a lot of languages. It comes from Greek, originally. Latin picked it up along the way and passed it on to the various Romance Languages and English, and Russian picked it up from Latin as well.

The entire reason it's called a coronavirus is because it's sort of crown-shaped.
