Some members of the [[Jonathan Club]], a private social club headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, believe their club was named after Jonathan Trumbull or "Brother Jonathan". However, the club was formed in 1895, and the true inspiration for its name is lost to history.

Between 1891 and 1901, US socialist [[Daniel De Leon]] wrote more than 300 editorials as dialogues between "Uncle Sam" (a class-conscious worker who espoused the doctrines of the [[Socialist Labor Party of America|SLP]]) and "Brother Jonathan" (a worker lacking in class-consciousness).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.marxists.org/archive/deleon/pdf/usbj/index.htm|title=Uncle Sam & Brother Jonathan|last=DeLeon|first=Daniel|author-link=Daniel DeLeon|publisher=New York Labor News|website=Marxist Internet Archive|access-date=July 29, 2022}}</ref>
