Q. Why is it called gingham?
Answer
“Gingham” is derived from the Malayan word genggang, which means "striped." We recognize gingham now as a contrasting-check shirt was not how the cloth was originally recognized. True gingham is defined chiefly because it is a "dyed in the yarn" fabric, which means that the yarn is colored before being woven.
