Serious question:

In regards to, "French Onion Dip," where does the "French" part come from?

I'm having difficulty finding any documentation on why it would be called "French"

"French Vanilla" has a yolk base, which is supposedly the French method of preparing the ice cream with a custard base.

French Dip, gets its name from the bread.

Where does "French Onion Dip" get it's French from?

Hence my mixing of the 3 for the dashi 👆🏽<technically 2 would have been ok>

Here's a good review article
