Sorry, you got beaten to that exact same joke earlier this month in this same community.

A while ago his dad came out and said the original South Sudanese name is actually Guot (pronounced gwot), and its spelling changed because of a transcription error when they fled to Egypt. But his manager said they're sticking with the name Gout. I don't think I've heard anything on the subject from the kid himself.
