The long john pastry is believed to have gotten its name from its elongated shape, resembling a long, thin doughnut or bar. Some sources suggest that it may be named after a character named "Long John" who was popular in 19th-century American culture, possibly inspired by the pirate Long John Silver from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island." The pastry is often filled with cream or custard and topped with icing, making it a popular treat in North America.
