In the UK we would look at it the other way round and ask 'Why is a nappy called a diaper in some parts of the world?'. Nappy is short for napkin.
daiper is the type of weave used in the cloth. In the many centuries before toilet paper a daipered cloth was used for that function (in the higher classes). (The type of cloth that some in the UK [i believe] call muslin)
