You won’t have to go to lengths to discover the masculine name Long’s origins. This epic name derives from the Chinese and Vietnamese element lóng (龙), meaning “dragon.” One for a tiny tot with an active imagination, Long could encourage your little one to envision worlds where magical creatures dwell! Long may also stem from lóng (隆), another Chinese and Vietnamese word that translates to “prosperous” or “abundant.” With all the friendships they’ll build and the opportunities they’ll find, your Long will certainly thrive. In the Old English language, Long was a nickname for a particularly “long” or “tall” person, so perhaps baby Long will inherit your height.
