Great question! I always wondered the same thing!! Based on some quick research I did just now, apparently Hamburg is an area in Germany where Hamburgers originated. In Germany they had a tendency to name snacks after their place of origin. It seems that this has a lot to do with the "ham" connection.
Well, now we know! :D

I'm sorry, but I don't remember the origin of the answer. I believe it was in a publication I have read in the past.

The place that came up with the idea was Hamburg Germany, so it was in the style of that city.

The name is actually taken from Hamburg, Germany, and has nothing to do at all with the meat "ham."
