The beefburger was invented someone from Hamburg, though in a different shape. The British stuck it in a bun and called it became a Hamburger. The Americans flattened it out into what we eat today.

The word "Hamburger" comes from Hamburg, Germany. It is a common misunderstanding that Hamburger is a term combined of Ham and Burger (Burg is german for castle, Hamburger the german term for people or things from Hamburg). But this misunderstanding established the word "Burger" for different kinds of "Hamburger" in the English language (such as Cheeseburger or Turkeyburger). In Germany, local traditional snacks are often named after the place of origin, like the Frankfurter (also known as a hotdog), the Berliner (a type of "doughnut") or (Nürnberger) Bratwurst. In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll, called Rundstück warm, although this is missing the "essence" of the modern hamburger, which is ground meat. Yet another theory however states that also in Hamburg, Germany, meatscraps, similar to modern ground beef were served on a Brötchen, a round bun-shaped piece of bread. It is said that German immigrants then took the Hamburger to the United States, where the bun was added, creating the modern Hamburger.

Because that's what a hamburger is in the USA. IF you want ham on a bun, order a SPAM burger.

Is there any big difference between a hamburger and a beef- burger other than the name? Hamburger is beef. Anyway, anything tastes good with enough catsup on it.

The name has nothing to do with the meat. It has to do with where the inventor came from - Hamburg, Germany.
