The term "panhandle" refers to a narrow strip of land that resembles the handle of a pan, and it is used in various contexts in the United States to describe specific geographic areas. The name likely originated from the shape of these regions, which extend out from larger land masses, similar to how a handle protrudes from a pan. Several states, including Florida and Texas, have panhandle regions that are characterized by their distinctive shapes. The usage of "panhandle" in this sense has become a common way to describe these elongated areas.
