I assume you mean "tomato sauce..." The most popular theory is that the word ketchup was derived from "koe-chiap" or "ke-tsiap" in the Amoy dialect of China, where it meant the brine of pickled fish or shellfish[8]. Some people prefer the Malayan word "kechap" (spelled ketjap by the Dutch), which may have come from the Chinese in the first place. The Malay word means taste. And in some time in the late seventeenth century, the name and some samples might have arrived in England where it appeared in print as "catchup" in 1690 and then as "ketchup" in 1711. These names stuck with the British, who quickly appropriated them for their own pickled condiments of anchovies or oysters. The use of tomatoes came somewhere in the early 1800's, and while it is uncertain exactly where or when this occurred or who did it, it was probably an American innovation.

I think you mean tomato SAUCE. "Tomato Sauce" is the Australian term for what is known in the USA as "ketchup" or "catsup."
