Isn't .45 Colt normally named .45 Long Colt?

The .45 Colt is exactly the same round as the .45 Long Colt.

The .45 Long Colt name was required in the late 1800's to differentiate
between the .45 Colt and the shorter .45 Schofield.

With the passing of the .45 Schofield as a popular round, the name .45 Colt
is now the most accepted name for this cartridge.

Quite Confusing sometimes!
