Where I live we usually put a batter in the waffle iron, doughs usually get shaped and put on a pan (or put into a loaf pan to make bread shaped bread). All that being said, I’m in the southern US, we aren’t known for making sense most the time.
I’m pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called “irons” because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.
