Originally, it was named after a town in Italy, I believe. (An attempt to make it sound far more enticing than "cheap, spiceless sausage substitute", I would imagine.) Properly, the name is bologna. There are a number of meats and cheeses that are named after provinces, either to simply differentiate themselves, or to designate where they were actually first made on a regular basis. And, if you'll follow the link below, it has other connotations.

The reason it is spelled "bologna" is because American bologna was developed from the Italian sausage named after the city of Bologna.

While you're asking questions about spellings, why is there an "L" in should?
