I was curious about French Toast the other day. Turns out it was invented by someone with the last name French and the intention was to call it French's Toast. But when he printed the name, he forgot the apostrophe and 'S'!

Similar story with German chocolate cake. It was German's chocolate cake. A guy named German.
