Nepotism - Wikipedia
The term comes from Italian word nepotismo,[5][6] which is based on Latin root nepos meaning nephew.[7] Since the Middle Ages and until the late 17th century, some Catholic popes and bishops – who had taken vows of chastity and, therefore, usually had no legitimate offspring of their own – gave their nephews such positions of preference as were often accorded by fathers to sons.[8]
nepotism
noun- the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.

Boris Johnson Giving Father Knighthood..
he can't.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...-Boris-honours
Hated plans for Boris Johnson’s father, Stanley, to be given a knighthood have been ditched amid continuing rows about the former Prime Minister’s resignation honours.
Mr Johnson’s list of awards, including royal gongs and new members of the House of Lords, could be published as early as today, after months of speculation about who the former PM has listed.
It’s expected Stanley Johnson, a former MEP and environmental campaigner, will no longer be given a knighthood after No. 10 raised objections.
Allies of Rishi Sunak had warned of the “repetitional cost” of giving such an honour to Boris Johnson’s father, especially given Mr Johnson already elevated his MP brother Jo to the House of Lords in July 2020.
Labour leader Keir Starmer previously blasted the nomination as “absolutely outrageous”.
