French fries (fried potato strips) are named for the method of deep frying which was associated with their method of preparation (in the French manner).

The fries themselves were apparently first prepared by inhabitants of French-speaking Belgium (Spanish Netherlands) in the same manner that they fried fish.

The term "French" in French fries really refers to julienne-cut potatoes (i.e., long thin potatoes). Most accounts of the origin of French fries say that they originated in Belgium--though in fact similar dishes have been common throughout the world for eons.

They came from Belgium. The most people call them french fries because the Americans came to Belgium in the First World War. They ate the fries and called them french fries because in that time the most people talked french in Belgium. They actually are belgian fries
