When a new Pope is elected, he chooses a new name, and I've heard this choice carries deep meaning. Does anyone know the historical or spiritual reasons behind the selection of papal names?
What is the significance of the Pope's choice of papal name?

Absolutely! 
When a new Pope is elected, choosing a new name is a big deal. It often reflects his values, mission, or the legacy he wants to continue. Historically, popes choose names of saints or previous popes to honor their contributions or to signal a particular focus for their papacy. It’s a way to connect with the past and set the tone for the future.
