It most famously refers to Paul Bunyan, the legendary giant lumberjack of North American folklore who traveled with his blue ox, Babe.

Beyond the tall tales, the name also belongs to John Bunyan, the influential seventeenth-century English preacher and author of the famous allegory Pilgrim's Progress.
