Origin: 1924 ;

 After Monte Cristo (or Montecristo), island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, best known for its role in Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (The Count of Monte Cristo), novel (1844-46) by Alexandre {see: |dumas|Dumas:b1};

  * Note : The earliest known print occurrence of Monte Cristo as the name of a sandwich is in the January, 1923 issue of The Caterer and Hotel Proprietor's Gazette (p. 32). A recipe for Monte Cristo sandwich essentially the same as the twenty-first-century recipe appears on the cooking page of the Los Angeles Times for May 4, 1924 (p. 6). In the San Francisco Examiner for January 16, 1925 (p. 12), the same dish is referred to as Christine's sandwich (Christine is not further identified by the anonymous editor). In response to a letter to the Examiner from a Mrs. Hull asking how to make a "Monte Carlo sandwich" (May 14, 1927, p. 16), a Miss D.S. writes "I saw Mrs. Hull's letter asking how to make a Monte Carlo sandwich, and I think she may mean a Monte Cristo …" (May 23, 1927, p. 12); Miss D.S. proceeds to give the conventional recipe. The editor, writing under the byline "Prudence Penny," adds "… this is a variation of my Christine sandwich." Note that all of the known journalistic citations for Monte Cristo before 1930 are from sources in California or Hawaii—suggesting that the word, if not the sandwich, originated on the West Coast. Monte Cristo was given wide circulation by its use in Louella Parsons' nationally syndicated Hollywood gossip column on August 11, 1929. It is not known why the sandwich received the name Monte Cristo, though if the early evidence in the San Francisco area is relevant, Monte Cristo may have been only one of several variants, one suggesting the other and no single variant being of particular significance. Barry Popik (at barrypopik.com) thought that the name might have been inspired by Monte Cristo, a silent film version of the Dumas novel that premiered in 1922.;
