英语词汇baby ruth的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Baby Ruth. The popular candy bar was probably named after babe ruth in 1921, when Ruth was already a legendary star. Soon after, Ruth challenged the naming, trying unsuccessfully to patent his own Babe Ruth Home Run Bar, and the candy- maker then claimed its Baby Ruth had been named after Presi- dent Grover Cleveland’s daughter Ruth, widely called Baby Ruth. Since Baby Ruth had died in 1904, 17 years before the candy bar was marketed, such a naming seems highly unlikely. The Baby Ruth candy bar probably was named for Babe Ruth, even though the candymaker doesn’t support the story any- more. Ira Berkow’s “A Babe Ruth Myth . . .” (New York Times 4/7/02) tells the story in greater detail.
