corned beef comes from the type of brine it is cured in. The 'corns' refer to the coarse particles of salt used to cure the meat.
hotdog derived from slang usage of the word 'dog' to refer to sausages. It is unclear when the exact origination of this is.
hamburger is named after the city of Hamburg where it was supposedly originated.
