The word "Hamburger" comes from Hamburg, Germany; the inhabitants of this city are also known as "Hamburger" in German but as Hamburgians in English. 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,[2] 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.[2]

It is made out of "beef" in a very loose sense. Basically after the cow is slaughtered all the good cuts are taken out and sold at a premium price. Then what is left over is ground up and sold as hamburger. Why is it called hamburger? I really don't know.

If it's called a hamburger, it doesn't have to be 100% beef. There can be all kinds of filler. Some of them you don't want to know about. If it's called a ground beef patty, it has to be beef.
