The Long family name carries a distinguished history rooted in the medieval landscapes of England, representing one of the most historically recurring heraldic achievements found in Burke’s General Armory. This specific design is centered upon a shield of Sable, a tincture representing constancy and wisdom. The field is intricately scattered with crosses crosslet, symbols traditionally associated with the Christian faith and the valor of the Crusades. At the heart of the shield stands a lion rampant in Argent, a powerful emblem of courage, strength, and sincerity. This combination of the silver lion against the dark field suggests a family history marked by noble leadership and a steadfast commitment to one's principles.

Rising above the shield is the crest, featuring a lion’s head in Gules emerging from a golden ducal coronet. The red lion’s head signifies military fortitude and a passionate spirit, while the golden coronet denotes high dignity and a legacy of eminent service. This crest serves as a visual testament to the family's historical status and their reputation for formidable resolve. The artwork is presented in a classic 19th-century woodcut engraving style, utilizing fine line work and traditional pen and ink aesthetics to provide a sense of timeless authority and historical permanence.

The achievement is completed by the motto Confide recte agens, which translates to "Trust in doing right." This guiding principle perfectly encapsulates the symbolic narrative of the arms, bridging the gap between the ancient visual cues of the lion and cross and the moral framework of the Long ancestors. Whether displayed for genealogical research or as a tribute to family heritage, this illustration offers a window into a past defined by nobility and a clear sense of duty.
