Eclair means lightning bolt in french, a name said to represent the glistening light on the fondant that looked like lightning bolts.
The word “éclair'' emerged in the 1860s, referring to the pastry formerly called petite duchesse in France.
The name really suits the petit dessert because it's literally eaten in a flash owing to its delicious taste.

The word comes from the French éclair, meaning 'flash of lightning', so named because it is eaten quickly.
The word is first attested both in English and in French in the 1860s.
However some believe that the name is due to the glistening of the frosting resembling lightning.
On a changé, depuis une vingtaine d'années, le nom de ces gâteaux [pains à la duchesse] : on les désigne actuellement sous le nom d'éclairs.
