Li Long is Chinese in Origin.

Li Long is a Chinese name formed from the elements Li and Long. In Mandarin pinyin, Li often represents the widespread surname 李 “plum,” while Long most commonly corresponds to 龙 “dragon,” a potent emblem of strength and good fortune. Long may also be written 隆 “abundant/prosperous” or with other characters, so the exact meaning depends on hanzi selection. As a diaspora given name, Li may be 力 “strength” or 丽 “beautiful,” yielding readings like “powerful dragon.”

As a full Chinese name, Li is typically the family name followed by the given name Long, though Western order sometimes inverts it. The name is largely masculine. Variants and romanizations include Li‑Long, Lilong; Cantonese: Lei Lung (李龍/李隆), often rendered Lee Lung; Wade–Giles: Li‑lung; Vietnamese: Lý Long; Sino‑Korean: Lee Yong/Ryong; Hokkien/Teochew and Indonesian Chinese: Li Liong. Related given‑name forms include Long, Jia‑Long, Zhi‑Long, and Anlong.
