Where does the name Paisley come from?
Paisley comes from a Scots surname taken from a town near Glasgow, says Behind the Name, and the town’s name may go back to the Latin basilica, “church”. Wikipedia says the town rose to prominence in the 12th century with the founding of Paisley Abbey. The same town gave its name to the swirling pattern often seen on fabric.
Other forms of Paisley
Behind the Name lists one variant, Paislee. The name is new as a girls’ name, so most families simply use it in full.
Well-known Paisleys
The most famous Paisley may be a building. Wikipedia says Paisley Park is a 65,000-square-foot estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota, once owned by Prince and named after his 1985 single “Paisley Park”. Construction began in January 1986 and the complex opened on September 11, 1987, with four recording studios and a sound stage. Many of Prince’s later albums were made there, and it opened to the public as a museum in October 2016.
Paisley’s popularity
Paisley is a 2010s success story. US Social Security data has it at 72nd in the 2010s, when more than 37,500 American girls were named Paisley. Behind the Name says it ranked 67th in the US in 2025 and 100th in Canada in 2024.
A few more things about Paisley
The paisley pattern began far from Scotland. Wikipedia says the teardrop-shaped motif, called boteh or buta, is of Iranian origin and became fashionable in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries through Kashmir shawls from India. Weavers in Paisley copied the shawls, and under Thomas Coats the town later became the world center of thread making.

A notebook for every Paisley
Paisley’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Paisley’s Notebook” on the cover tells Paisley it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
