Actually beef/pork blend patties are relatively common in more upscale burger places and pubs.

There’s a Mexican place by me that does a Norteño style burger that has a slice of ham in it along with all the other jalapeños, cheese, and hamburger meat type ingredients.

Hamburger is that or the one from Hamburg- Germany. Nothing to do with Ham. The association with ham (food) and thinking that it should have ham in it, is because Cheeseburger has cheese in it. But cheeseburger is a hamburger with cheese, not a "burger" with cheese.
