Penguin necks vary in size depending on the species, but they are generally short and relatively thick compared to their body size. For example, the Emperor Penguin has a neck that is about 30 centimeters (12 inches) long, while smaller species like the Little Blue Penguin have shorter necks. The structure of their necks is adapted for swimming and diving rather than for long stretches, contributing to their streamlined shape. Overall, penguin necks are not particularly long compared to their overall body length.

Why are penguins named penguins?
According to the Oxford dictionary, the name was originally applied to the Great Auk (from Newfoundland), which is now extinct. It's from a Welsh word pen gwyn (translates roughly to white heads).
There is an interesting entry in the Golden Hind's ship logs (Drake's famous ship). When the Golden Hind sailed through the Magellan Straights, Welsh sailors are said to have called the birds ("foule") pengwins. It's thought they mistook the penguins for Auks. Either that or they simply used the word pengwin because they resembled the Auk. Hard to say which it was. Regardless, the name stuck.
