No, they are not called "Hamburgers", they are called "Hamburger" so without the "s" on the end. I know this because I am from Germany. People in any city are called without the "s", such as:
Berliner
Wiesbadener
Münchener
but for women, they use the "in" on the end and write/say:
Berlinerin
Wiesbadenerin
Münchenerin
These are the differences.

The real question here is -- why are you so hellbent on being "right". Often, people are willing to sacrifice relationships just to prove their rightness on a subject or action. Why not just agree to disagree? Or create a new word together, like "crabby patties" fron Spongebob Squarepants if that will ease the tension. If you become annoyed so easily, that is a symptom of something else going on -- it probably emanates from you and then shows itself in your marriage. Have an honest look at what your intentions are when you are correcting your wife. Have you lost sight of the "steak" for the "hamburger"?

Yes. And it's no coincidence that the name of the food
is the same. Hamburgers were first sold in NY by German
immigrants. Back then in their original form as meat balls.
I doubt someone from Hamburg first sold it though. Germans
were generally referred to as Hamburgers as the sea port
they came from was Hamburg.
