There are many names, including Frankfurter and wiener (derived from the names of two large German speaking cities, the latter being the capital of Austria, called "Wien" in German).
Frankfurter or wiener sausage was the old name for the hot dog. The name fell victim to political pressure (according to some people) due to World War 1 and WW2, where the name cities were important to the other side. The name 'hot dog' related to sausage appears to date back to 1894. 'Dog' was used as a derogatory term for sausage as early as the middle 1800s.
Oddly, in Europe, the term Wienerwurst is used in Germany (though Vienna is in Austria) and Frankfurter is heard in Austria (though Frankfurt is in Germany).
The term 'hot dog' applies to somewhat different versions of the food in New Zealand, Australia, and some other English speaking countries.
