As explained in [http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/hotchkiss.html this article], the name derives from an American company named [[E H Hotchkiss]] which made staplers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many Japanese sources erroneously attribute the name to [[Benjamin B. Hotchkiss]], who may have been an uncle of [[E H Hotchkiss]]. The [[surname]] "Hotchkiss" is a variant of [[Hodgkin]]. {{disambig}} [[de:Hotchkiss]] [[es:Hotchkiss]] [[ko:호치키스]]
