I never thought about how the ampersand looks like a duck.

If that page is correct, it’s because Donald Duck is called Anders And in Danish(!).

He is indeed called Anders And but the only name I know in Danish for & is "og-tegn" (and-sign).

We don't call it ampersand because that comes from the English "and per se and".
