The harlequin is a character from Commedia dell'arte, a 16th-century Italian theater movement. Harlequins were witty, mischievous clowns. Their early costumes were sewn together from fabric scraps. Over time, the diamond pattern became associated with harlequins.

Textile designers use the term harlequin to describe a diamond pattern with elongated shapes arranged vertically. They are point-to-point, sometimes very close together, almost touching. Sometimes though, there is space between the diamonds, and the negative space forms a lattice effect.
