Cool!

It’s called a monkey wrench (among other names) in English, but not because monkeys invented it.

The actual inventor was a Baltimore mechanic called Charles Moncky. The tool’s name is the result of an intentional misspelling of his last name.

(Update: actually, no. This is an old, but false story. The monkey wrench was invented in the 1840s by Loring Coes, a Massachusetts industrialist and politician. I leave in the reference to Mr Moncky as evidence of the persistence of fake news, if it has a better/funnier story).

In many other languages, the tool is named after its presumed origin - but never the right one.

It’s called an ‘English key’ in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Turkish and a few other languages.

However, in the Balkans and far north into Eastern Europe, the preferred terminology is ‘French key’. As is the case in Iran as well.

Russians and Ukrainians, who agree on little else these days, both call it a ‘Swedish key’. So do the Macedonians and Israelis.
