The term "paddy" reveals a remarkable versatility in literature, serving both as a proper name and as a descriptor for rice or rice fields. In works by James Joyce and other writers, "Paddy" is used as a nickname that conveys personality and local color, appearing in characters like Paddy Dignam or Paddy Leonard ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]). At the same time, in texts dealing with agricultural practices and folklore—such as those by Edgar Thurston, Lal Behari Day, and in the Mahabharata—it denotes rice in its various forms, whether as unhusked grain, a commodity of exchange, or a symbol of cultural tradition ([9], [10], [11], [12]–[13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]). Even Rudyard Kipling employs the word in a playful, literal sense when describing a "paddy-paw" ([19], [20], [21], [22]), blending the imagery of nature with linguistically inventive characterizations.
