While I was in Australia, I visited the Surfer's Paradise Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, and I found one interesting article,
The phrase "So Long" was derived from muslims usage of "Salaam", I don't really know if this true or not but Ripley did refered us as "Muhammadens", which is.....weirdly 1910-ish.
So, what do you guys think?

Shalom is also phonetically close. Irish (Gaelic), Slan go (note, you often don't pronounce Gaelic the way you expect to given modern writing and languages)
I think given the options the Irish one is probably the most likely given the high number of Irish immigrants in the US where I think the phrase originated.

It is at least as likely that it comes from the Hebrew "shalom."

I think that information is false and unsupported.
