Hamburger comes from the Chinese, but you could just look in a dictionary

Actually, the word Hamburger comes from Germany, It was originally called a "Hamburg steak" because in Germany there was a port called "Hamburg" and the staple of the town was a piece of pounded beef, eventually when it traveled elsewhere it was called a "Hamburger Steak" the adjective Hamburger meaning "Of hamburg" and eventually the laziness of human language dropped off the "steak" part and just left Hamburger.

The word burger is a shortened form of the word hamburger, which gets its name from the city of Hamburg, in Germany, from where the hot sandwich known as a burger originated.
