Doyley is called after a 16th Century London based draper according to
Encarta..
We also call them Doyleys in Australia. With the exact same meaning that you
gave.

Subject: [lace] Origin of Doyley
A round lace or crocheted mat is known as a Doyley or as in South Africa as
a
doyley. Does anybody have any idea where the name originated. I would
assume
that it was named after a person by that name but why? I suppose
something
along the lines of a cardigan which was named after Lord Cardigan. Any
ideas?
