You make them up. It's just a way of assigning a unique identify that you can use to refer to them again later with. But you completely make them up :)

What do you mean by handle name? That's not an official term so can you explain what you mean please?

in the Wordpress video was referred to handles or names i guess when enqueuing the scripts and styles for example

wp_enqueue_style( 'main', get_stylesheet_uri() );

where "main" was referred to as handle. So my question was: "Where are these handle names originate from? Are they named freely or names are predetermined by linked content type?"
