The image shows Michael Babich as creator, seems to be over 5 years old. I doubt it's something official or documented. As you can see in the answers here, there are different names for some, too. Android docs call burger and kebab Navigation and Overflow.

It kinda makes intuitive sense that interface “menus” are named after food-related analogies. Now I can’t “unsee” it.

@hellomiakoda @zkat @rommudoh @eniko @MaddieQuestions Döner kebap is Turkish for the rotating skewer meat. The traditional way to eat the cut meat is on top of pieces of flatbread

Turkish immigrants brought it with them into Germany when Germany had the "guest worker" program in the 1960s and began selling it as street food inside flatbread in the 1970s. The name of the dish got shortened to just Döner there
