The term "Paddy" derives from the name of a Celtic tribe of ancient Hibernia known to Roman geographers as the 'Padii'.
The Irish immigrants were still being stereotyped. Irish were the drinkers and were the ones who needed the paddy wagon more so than others, according to the stereotype. I thought I heard the name was "Patty wagon", Patty as in Patrick, a good Irish name. It was later called paddy.
