French toast was known by several other names before French toast became the common. There are early mentions of French toast. The earliest it has been traced is to a 4th century Roman cookbook. There are other early mentions from France, England, Spain, and Italy.

nope, nor do french fries nor french kisses (In France they call them English kisses, I hear). The same question, phrased differently, can be found on this website, where they say it was originally called German toast, til anti-German sentiment with WWI. (See dictionary section: French Toast; or go to Wikipedia and look up French toast, tho that is unnecessary, since someone included the Wikipedia entry in this dictionary answer)

Did the French invented French toast?

Yes, the French did invent French toast they also invented French Fries. Ans. 2 The French might well have invented French Fries had not the Belgians beaten them to it. It is noteworthy that although frites are the most popular way of eating potatoes in France, the French are always willing to give credit to the Belgians for them. On the other hand, the French have no desire to take credit for "French Toast". They did not invent it, or name it, they do not eat it and there is no word for it in French, except possibly 'degeu'. It probably came from the USA, but no-one there wants to take the blame credit for it either.
