Many people mistakenly think that the name Hamburger comes from the word "Ham", but actually the name comes from the city of Hamburg in Germany, where this food originated. From the second largest city in Germany, many of its residents emigrated to America and spread the making of burgers there. Just a coincidence that the word "ham" which in English means salami has a sound similar to Hamburger, hamburger fact not contain Ham (although there are also restaurants that add sliced Ham on their burgers for more flavor).
