Paislie is Scottish in Origin.

Paislie is a modern respelling of Paisley, a Scottish place-name and surname from the town in Renfrewshire. Scholars suggest two roots: a Brittonic word meaning “pasture/meadow,” or Gaelic Pàislig, sometimes linked to ecclesiastical Latin basilica, “church.” As a result, the name is read as “from Paisley” or evocatively “meadow”/“church.” The town lent its name to the famous paisley textile motif, itself descended from the Persian boteh design, which adds a stylish, artistic association.

As a given name it was rare until the late 20th century, rising sharply in the United States and elsewhere in the 2000s - helped by the popularity of surname names, the fashion pattern, and public figures such as country musician Brad Paisley. Today it is used mostly for girls in North America but remains technically unisex. Related forms include Paisley, Paislee, Paisleigh, Paizley, Paysley, and Paesley.
