It's all in the name... or is it?  
Swiss rolls wern't invented by the Swiss (and neither was the cockoo clock, thats German) 

Great Danes come from Germany originally not Denmark.

Goodyear tyres, Charles Goodyear the man who invented the vulcanization process died penniless 30 years before Goodyears tyres (started by Frank A. Seiberling) took over the name.

Buffalo Bill, or William Fredrick Cody never shot any buffalos, there wern't any in the USA, he shot Bison (Bison bison) which isn't even related to the Buffalo, or at least not for the last 6 million years.

Billy the kid, really named Henry McCarty (not Willian Bonney, that was an alias) and he wasn't called Billy either, just the Kid.
