Etymology
Nylons comes from the name of the new fabric nylon, a man-made 'plastic' fiber first made in the 1930s, so people used nylons to mean stockings made from that material. One popular story says NY and LON, from New York and London, made the name nylon, but that is probably just a neat memory idea.
