Paul Bunyan is a
giant lumberjack in
American folklore, His exploits revolve around the
tall tales of his superhuman labors. The character originated in the
oral tradition of
North American loggers. There are many hypotheses about the etymology of the name
Paul Bunyan. Much of the commentary focuses on a Franco-Canadian origin for the name. Phonetically Bunyan is similar to the Québécois expression "
bon yenne!" expressing surprise or astonishment. The English surname Bunyan derives from the same root as bunion in the Old French
bugne, referring to a large lump or swelling. Several researchers have attempted to trace Paul Bunyan to the character of
Bon Jean or
Tit Jean of French Canadian folklore.
