Long or De Long?

Britannica says: Long Strait , presumably after Thomas Long, the whaler who found the Wrangel Island and gave it the name Wrangel Island. --Abc10 (talk) 15:17, 21 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

De long?

I was surprised when reading this article as "Long" due to my always having seen it as "De long" in cartography. I had assumed it was named after George W. De Long, another, slightly more prominent, Arctic explorer who also led an expedition to reach the North Pole and would have crossed the Strait.

Take it as you will, I know this talk page almost certainly won't be noticed by anyone. Genoparis (talk) 22:30, 11 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
