According to foodtimeline.org:
The inventor of the Belgian waffle made famous by the 1964-65
New York World's Fair was Maurice Vermersch: "Vermersch started
making waffles from a recipe of his wife's when living in Belgium
before the outbreak of World War II. After serving in the war, he
started two restaurants in Belgium before making his World's Fair
debut at the Brussels fair in 1960. Business went so well in
Brussels that Vermersch and four other families decided to head to
New York for the 1964 World's Fair. And when they arrived in
Queens, the name of their product was changed from the Brussel
Waffle to the Belgian Waffle. The name Belgian waffle was created
in New York."
---"His waffles made memories at the Queens World's Fair,"
Newsday (Queens edition) August 22, 1989 (p. 21)

What is a Belgian Waffle?
A Belgian waffle is a type of waffle identified by its larger
size, lighter batter and higher grid pattern which forms deep
pockets and has larger squares. In Belgium, there are a number of
different types of waffle, including the Brussels waffle, the Liège
waffle and the stroopwafel; what is known in North America as a
"Belgian waffle" is most similar to the Brussels waffle. As opposed
to a traditional waffle, the Belgian waffle attributes its height
to the use of yeast batter instead of a pancake batter. They are
often eaten as a breakfast food. In North America, they are usually
served with butter (or margarine) and maple syrup or with vanilla
ice cream and fresh fruit (such as strawberries) as a dessert.

Asked in Cooking Measurements
How many cups does a waffle have?
Depends on what you mean by cups. Some answerers are
interpreting your question to refer to the volume of liquid batter
needed to bake a waffle. I was thinking you meant the number of
depressions in the surface of the waffle. My home waffle iron,
which is not the Belgian variety, puts 49 little holes (cups) in
each square waffle.
If you're asking about volume of liquid, I see Belgian waffle
makers at hotels a lot, because I travel heavily for business, and
it appears that about 1/2 cup (about 125 ml) of batter makes one
serving with nine to twelve holes in the surface.
