The story that the name nylon came from combining the names of New York and London has been around for a long time – almost as long as nylon itself. ... First used to replace real bristles in toothbrushes, it found its great fame as a substitute for silk stockings, so much so that nylons became the generic term

The monomers for nylon 6-6 are adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. The two molecules are combined to create the polymer and water (H2O) is produced as a by-product.
