Never realized that. Come to think of it it does make quite a lot of sense. Probably because here, in French, we call this 'pate chinois' with an 'e acute' in 'pate', loosely translated as Chinese pie, which has no co-relation with the English name.

Here is a wiki on it confirming what I thought was the origin of it's name here:
