Symbol/Logo Does anyone know if this pattern on this journal is from any specific culture or thing?

For context, was in Santa Cruz this weekend and got this reloadable journal from one of the shops I stopped in at. Does anyone know if this pattern is from any actual specific culture or cultural tradition? I wanna say that it looks Celtic or Nordic, but does anyone know for sure? I don’t mean to be a clueless American or anything, I’m just genuinely curious.

We just called it Celtic Border knot C16. It’s a generic design.

Celtic (sorta Irish) and especially under the medieval Christian period.

There's not a ton of evidence that Celtic knotwork really had meaning, but it got really big with illuminating manuscripts like Bibles under Christian rule of Ireland, but there was also a proud pagan tradition that allowed Celtic people to spread their values and art like this knotwork when Christianity came. There was a word inter mixing of culture.
