There are 6 different meanings of Jumbo jet.

Jumbo jet Disambiguation
Boeing 747
1 product, approx. 36 pages
The Boeing 747, the original "Jumbo Jet."
Airbus A380
1 product, approx. 27 pages
Informally, The Airbus A380, nicknamed the "Super Jumbo"
Wide-body aircraft
1 product, approx. 3 pages
Informally, wide-body aircraft
Because the 747 was representative of so many "firsts" in so many categories, first "wide-body airliner," first to use the "twin-aisle concept," and the first airliner to use "quiet technology high bypass turbofan engines," this particular aircraft is often and rightfully referred to as a jetliner for these among other reasons which follow. Among some of the other features that make this particular wide-body distinct from wide-bodies designed later are:
first "super-transport jet" as opposed to first "super-sonic transport jet," of the free world or communist world
Informally, Very Large Aircraft such as the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, Antonov An-124, and Antonov An-225
