The paisley pattern is very old, possibly dating from 1700BCE in ancient Babylon (present day Iraq). The symbol was originally called boteh (the Persian word for shrub or cluster of leaves) which is visually a combination of a spray of floral elements and a cypress tree. The paisley shape could also be an adaptation of the yin-yang symbol used in ancient Chinese medicine and philosophy. The name paisley came much later, from Paisley, Scotland, which produced woven wool shawls patterned after the middle Eastern design.

Many different cultures have used the paisley symbol and consider it to represent a variety of objects, including a cashew fruit, a mango, or a sprouting date palm - an Indian symbol of fertility.
