It was originally named by British surgeon Jonathan Hutchinson (1828-1913). Its other names derive from the typical occupation of people who sustained this injury due to direct trauma from starting a car with a crank. It is also known as backfire fracture or lorry driver fracture or Ford Fracture
It is interesting to note that the word chauffeur comes from the French for "someone who warms" the car engine.
