Probably tradition from the age of chivalry when a man protected a woman using himself as a shield.

For instance walking along a pavement the man would keep himself closest to the road in order to protect her from carriages throwing mud, horses, vagrants etc.

Since most people are right handed this would mean the man walking on the right and this keeping his right hand free with her walking to his left.
