I'm not really sure i just have a wild imagination here but
I think its something that originated from St. Patricks day
i just think that the green thing and the clover has gotten an impression of a man with a green suit and a hat with a clover has gotten into St. Patricks day and started the 'Leprachauns'
Sry if my imagination is too crazy but thats my guess as far as i know

Celtics believed in fairies, and that`s how Leprechauns (Which are fairies) somehow ended up becoming part of this popular Irish Holiday.
Quote:
However, the leprechaun was not introduced as a representation for St. Patrick's Day by the Irish. The tiny man was made a figure by Americans after a 1959 Walt Disney film, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People," showed a happy-go-lucky leprechaun. This now serves as a familiar figure associated with St. Patrick's Day.
Weird.
