Why do we call it a "hamburger" -- why not call it a "beefburger"?

You know, I've always wondered this myself...

Maybe back in the olden days, ground beef was mixed with pig to give it flavor or something.

Not really since 'burger' is an abbreviation of Hamburger, being something from Hamburg... They get called Beefburgers to avoid confusing people who don't enjoy pig-related produce.

Why do we drive on the parkway and park in the driveway? 😕

What exactly is "Semi-Boneless Ham?"

Why do we call them "Jumbo Shrimp?"
 
And burguer comes from burg, which in turn comes from borough. You would probably know this if you had any middle-age History classes. 😉
