The word "Hamburger" comes from Hamburg, Germany; the inhabitants of this city are also known as "Pork Eaters" in German.
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. However, another theory states that in Hamburg, 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.

It's not called a hamburgar. It is called a hamburger. It is called this because it originated in Hamburg, Germany.

Unless you carefully buy the meat and cook it yourself, (or know somebody in the biz) who can say for sure what's in a hamburger?
