Why is Paisly pattern called Paisly pattern?

The Paisley pattern is named after the town of Paisley in Scotland, which became a center for the production of woven textiles featuring this distinctive design in the 19th century. The pattern itself is derived from ancient Persian motifs that resemble a teardrop or almond shape, often associated with fertility and eternity. The popularity of these textiles spread, and the name "Paisley" became synonymous with the pattern due to its association with the Scottish textile industry.
