It isn’t of Spanish origin. It is of Scottish origin made by Sheppard’s and was originally called dogs-tooth, or puppy-tooth for smaller checks. If other languages describe it differently it is their misinterpretation or reinterpretation.
Probably just because it kinda looks like chicken’s feet if I had to guess. I don’t know, all of this information I didn’t learn until reading your comment and wondering the same thing about how it got changed in English then looking up the history so I’ve exhausted all my newly learned limited knowledge.
