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.

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.
