OT: I am from a large-ish city in Eastern Europe. I grew up calling clothes hangers "trempel". Everyone in my town did. Neither my parents nor my grandparents knew that they had a different name throughout the rest of the Russian speaking word ("plechiki" translated as "little shoulders") and that Trempel was actually a last name of an early manufacturer of them in my area. It's sort of a Xerox vs copy machine thing except here I wouldn't have recognized the other word for it at all, and people from outside my region wouldn't have recognized mine.
