Paul Bunyan

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. The character originated in the oral tradition of North American loggers,〔〔〔〔 and was later popularized by freelance writer William B. Laughead (1882–1958) in a 1916 promotional pamphlet for the Red River Lumber Company. He has been the subject of various literary compositions, musical pieces, commercial works, and theatrical productions.〔 His likeness is displayed in several statues across North America.
== Etymology ==
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.
