It's quit simple actually. The "hot" part came from it being served hot. The "dog" part came from it's resemblance to a Dachshund those long skinny dogs like the one in Toy Story. Which put together makes hot dog!

It was a convenient way to eat a small hot sausage. See the link at the bottom of the page for the history of the hot dog- I mean the wiener- I mean the frankfurter.

Hot Dogs are shaped that way because they are easier to eat in a hot-dog bun and more people prefer the shape over a burger shape.
