Hush puppies are believed to have gotten their name from Southern cooks who would allegedly toss leftover cornmeal batter to quiet barking dogs while they were frying fish or other foods. Another theory suggests that the term comes from the practice of using the fried cornmeal balls to "hush" hungry children at mealtime. The exact origin remains somewhat unclear, but these stories reflect the dish's Southern roots in American cuisine.
