How did johnny cakes and hoe cakes get their name?

It was originally thought that hoe cakes originally got their name because they were cooked on a hoe over a fire.
Steps
Johnny cakes have been a staple of American cuisine for hundreds of years. It was a recipe learned from the Native Americans who cooked these small cornmeal cakes baked over hot ashes. Their Native American name was ”noekhick” but that evolved to “journey cakes“, as these breads were easy to carry in the saddlebags of American pioneers.
