The three companies to the links you provided Ace have done nothing but take a product in their existing range, increased the volume of it, and then made up their own name for it. It's not a new category of glass type so the 'best' name for it they could come up with is a variation of the original.

It's like taking a Collins or Highball glass and making a larger version of it. What do you call it? Have you invented an entire new category? Of course not. So what do you do? Come up with some stupid name is what. An 'Extra' Collins, or a 'Higher' Highball.

It's funny how a website dedicated to a specific topic/theme, which has been around for 80ish years, is just hearing about 'triple' old fashioned glasses, especially considering they are used mostly in Tiki bars.
