People\nThe award for the longest name for a person belongs to a German immigrant to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The name he was given at birth, and which somehow fit on his passport was:\n\n(First and "middle" names)\nAdolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert \nIrvim John Kenneth Loyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy \nRandolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor Willian Xerxes Yancy \nZeus\n\n(Last name)\nWolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorffvoralternwarengewissenhaf\ntschaferswesenchafewarenwholgepflegeundsorgfaltigkeitbeschut\nzenvonangereifenduchihrraubgiriigfeindewelchevorralternzwolf\ntausendjahresvorandieerscheinenbanderersteerdeemmeshedrraums\nchiffgebrauchlichtalsseinursprungvonkraftgestartseinlangefah\nrthinzwischensternartigraumaufdersuchenachdiesternwelshegeha\nbtbewohnbarplanetenkreisedrehensichundwohinderneurassevanver\nstandigmenshlichkeittkonntevortpflanzenundsicherfreunanleben\nslamdlichfreudeundruhemitnichteinfurchtvorangreifenvonandere\nrintlligentgeschopfsvonhinzwischensternartigraum\n\nSenior\nIn case you didn't notice, he has one given name for every letter of the alphabet plus his surname. Needless to say, he shortened it, and was commonly known as Mr. Hubert Wolfe, though officially it was said that he signed his name Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, Sr.\n\nThe children's author, Jane Yolen wrote a book called The Longest Name on the Block about a young Italian boy whose mother would call him home for dinner using his full name (which was extremely long). Unfortunately I cannot find my copy of the book, and cannot remember what the name was. If anyone has a copy of the book, please /msg me.\n\nThe longest name in the Bible is Mahershalalhashbaz which can be found in Isaiah 8:1.\n\nYou can also see Albin Hallin for a long and unusual name.

The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be flocci­nauci­nihili­pilificati... at 29 letters. Defined as "the act of estimating (something) as worthless", its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Jesse Helms, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The acceptability of the 33-letter adverbial form flocci­nauci­nihili­pilificast... is subject to controversy. The longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico... an invented word supposed to refer to a lung disease.

According to oxford\nThe longest word cited by the Guinness Book of Records, which allegedly represents the name for human mitochondrial DNA, is 207,000+ letters long.\n\nThe formal names of chemical compounds are almost unlimited in length (for example, aminoheptafluorocyclotetraphosphonitrile, 40 letters\n\nwords (mainly technical ones) recorded in the complete Oxford English Dictionary include: \n\notorhinolaryngological (22 letters), \nimmunoelectrophoretically (25 letters), \npsychophysicotherapeutics (25 letters), \nthyroparathyroidectomized (25 letters), \npneumoencephalographically (26 letters), \nradioimmunoelectrophoresis (26 letters), \npsychoneuroendocrinological (27 letters) \nhepaticocholangiogastrostomy (28 letters), \nspectrophotofluorometrically (28 letters), \npseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters). \n\nAccording to Guinness Book of Records,\nOfficial longest word is 29 letters \nfloccinaucinihilipilification (FLOK-sih-noh-see-NEE-hee-lee-PEE-lih-fih-KAY-shun\n\nAccording to werriam websters dictionary \npneumonoultramicro-scopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, which has 45 letters \n\n\nPLEASE CHECK THE LINKS FOR INTRESTING DETAILS

The answer really depends on what qualifies as a "word." \nFor example, chemical names can be thousands of letters long. If you wrote out the name of a DNA molecule, it would be over 1,000,000,000 letters. But are these really words? It seems even dictionaries can't agree. "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico-volcanoconiosis" is the longest word in non-technical English dictionaries, but according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it is a fictitious word created just to claim the title of longest. \nOne of the longest place names is 92 letters, the name of a hill in New Zealand that is typically called just "Taumata." And for those with a sense of humor, "smiles" is considered the longest word because there is a "mile" between the first and last letters.
