I'd bet my left nut that actually French Toast is one of many things described by the English with a French prefix to denote that it's something done slightly differently, or more often, more sophisticatedly than usual. See French Letters, French Doors, French Kissing etc. Like Creme Broulle, French toast is probably English.
I'd go with Viva La Difference even more than the food & drink, the countryside, and the ladies. I don't hear it often enough*.

In England we call it "eggy bread" and it's mainly a savoury dish. I think the Americans popularised the term french toast.
As to who invented it, I don't know. It's a 'left overs' type meal, so it probably existed all over Europe.
