COVID 19- COrona VIrus Disease 2019

Covid-19
CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or '2019-nCoV.' The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold
This abbreviation is better than Huanan Seafood Market Flu or so; nobody really knows, where this biohazard did emerge from. Some objectified coining is, I do think, a good solution (better than: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu )
The name coronavirus tried to distract the attention of a possible chimera created in a bio-facility.
As some people already said in this thread the virus could be the SARS-CoV-2, but now that I saw people dying in my town, I don't trust those names.
Why in the world people still think that SARS-CoV-20 initially was transmitted by palm civets, pangolins or baths?

As the virus belongs to the family of corononaviridae...it is called corona virus. Covid stands for corona virus associated disease. The more scientific nomenclature being SARS-COV2.
I do agree with Mahmoud Elkazzaz. The statement of Dr. Patel "The disease it causes is called COVID-19. 'CO' corona, 'V-I' virus, 'D' disease, '19,' 2019," (https://abc7news.com/how-did-coronavirus-get-its-name-of-for-new/6071514/).

Although the name coronavirus caused a bit of confusion at the start of the current health crisis, Rather, the pathogen got its name due to the spiky crown (or corona in Latin) that you can see on its surface when you take a look at it underneath a microscope.
COVID- 19 called corona virus.. it is a Latin name meaning crown.. has a club- shaped spikes create the look of corona(crown shape).
Excuse me, I think the question is for the name of corna rather than the name of covide.
Coronavirus is an RNA virus, it has characteristic club-shaped spikes that project from their surface, which in electron micrographs create an image reminiscent of the solar corona, from which the name coronavirus derives.
Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes.
On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak. The new name of this disease is coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as COVID-19. In COVID-19, ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV”.

It’s derived from corona viruse disease /that established in 2019 so its short name became covid-19
It's part family of coronavirus disease (COVID)discovered in 2019 so called COVID 2019

It's an abbreviation for Corona virus infection. The word "Corona" derived from the Latin word which means "Crown". Here, in the term COVID-19 "CO" stands for Corona, "VI" stands for Virus and "D" stands for Disease. And "19" denotes the year of the outbreak (2019). Thanks
