Forms: also (esp. in senses 2 and 4) with capital initial(s).

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: long adj.¹, proper name John.

Etymology: < long adj.¹ + the male forename John (see John n.), perhaps after use of Long John as a type-name for a tall person (attested from at least the early 19th cent.).Applied to various objects characterized by their unusual length. In sense 1 apparently with specific allusion to the tall, straight trunk of the tree.

1. Either of two tropical South American trees of the genus Triplaris (family Polygalaceae), T. americana and T. weigeltiana, both having a tall, relatively unbranched stem and showy pink flowers. Now rare.
