Question: How Did Sirloin Steak Get Its Name?

I have read that an English King (do not know which one) was so impressed with that cut of meat that he declared, "I dub thee Sir Loin," and that it has been known as sirloin steak ever since. Is that possibly true?

Answers:

the king thing is wrong
The word comes from the Middle English surloine, which itself was derived from the Old French word surlonge, meaning above the loin

Flazatty - - really ! ! - - (I like your knighthood gist) - - why not - - it is all speculation - - that becomes advertising
As for all the linguistic lessons and history nuts - - (they have a name also)

does anyone here SEE - - your are only talking about the Written word - Masters of wealth and power - -

A good story, but untrue.

...From M.Fr. surlonge, lit. "upper part of the loin," from sur "over, above" + longe "loin," from O.Fr. loigne...
