First in 1889, hamburg steak, from the German city of Hamburg, though no certain connection has ever been conclusively made, and there may not ever be one beyond that of Hamburg being a major port of departure for German immigrants to U.S. Shortened form burger attested from 1939; beefburger was attempted 1940, in an attempt to make the main ingredient more explicit, after the -burger had taken on a life of its own as a suffix (cf. cheeseburger, first attested 1938).
