The English name for barbecue (grilled directly over a fire) is barbecue (commonly known as BBQ), which comes from the Caribbean. Once upon a time, when the French came to the Caribbean, they would eat whole butchered sheep on the island from the beard to the butt on the grill.

They called this food barbe-cul (the "l" at the end of the French word cul is not pronounced), which then evolved into the word barbecue, and more due to the cue and the letter Q homophonic, it became barbeque, and later more abbreviated as BBQ.
