He did not come up with it. "Paisley" is a real word.

I thought it was a color, sort of a light purple. I never found it wierd though, I knew it was a word related to color.

Is this 4 real? A paisley is a design, a pattern just like the definition states. eg) a paisley shirt.

Yep, it's real. Used to be a really popular pattern in the 60's. And it made a comeback in the late 80's/early 90's with those paisley rayon shirts.

Paisley is a town in Scotland, UK, just outside of Glasgow.

It used to be a major manufacturer of textiles, and is where the 'Paisley' swirly design originates.

The local Paisley museum and art gallery can give you all the history.

Yup, Paisley is a design, it can be any color.
Or to be more specific it's that kinda curly tailed teardrop shape.

The original Paisley Park logo is in the shape of a Paisley.

The UK release of Paisley Park had a sleeve covered with the things.
