Clan Story

The Paisley Legacy

Paisley is a Scottish surname taken from the town of Paisley in Renfrewshire, in the historic Strathclyde-Briton area of southwest Scotland. It denotes geographic origin rather than descent from a clan, and no clan chief or chiefly structure is associated with the name.

The name Paisley derives from the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, itself from Brythonic/Cumbric roots meaning roughly 'major church.' The town's central institution, Paisley Abbey, was founded in 1163 by Walter fitz Alan, first High Steward of Scotland, and served as the burial place of the High Stewards of Scotland (and Marjorie Bruce) and the birthplace of King Robert II in 1316 -- an important royal and religious site, though not evidence of an independent kin-based clan of the name.

Clan Facts

Clan ChiefNo Lord Lyon-recognized chief exists for Paisley. COSCA lists Paisley as a modern clan-association grouping together with the surnames Carrick, Dirom, Hogg, Lang, Moore, Rankin, and Sloan, suggesting a fraternal heritage-association construction rather than a documented historical kin group with its own chief.
