Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Panama, the country through which these traditional lightweight straw hats were shipped to international markets in the mid-19th century. Interestingly, the hats are actually hand-woven in Ecuador from the leaves of the toquilla palm plant, but acquired the name 'Panama' due to their major distribution hub during the California Gold Rush.
