Cinderella's original name was Ella. One night, Ella fell asleep by the fireplace while scrubbing the floor. When she woke up, she was covered in cinders and ashes. Her evil step-sisters teased her by calling her Cinder Ella, which soon smoothed into the name Cinderella. I conclude that this event happened during Ella's childhood, because it seems she grew up with this nickname, which is why everyone, including herself, addresses her as Cinderella.
Her true name was Ella but she gained the nickname from the step family because she would be covered in cinders and ashes after cleaning the fireplace.

The plot makes use of fairies and supernatural magic- now if we had some Mafia man hot wire a "37 Packard for a one night outing, and the magic came from Four Hub Caps, another story! it has been argued that the Gangster tale (Pal Joey) by Damon Runyon was essentially an updated Cindererlla with gangsterism instead of magicl. It was said to have triggered the fad among Jd"s for stealing sets of Hub Caps!

"Cinderella" is so beloved because it's a message of hope. It tells people "Yes, you can change your life", or "You will find your Prince Charming".

What can I say, people love a good rags-to-riches story.

She usually sat by the cinders which were also known as a fireplace. This isn't there in the movie but I read it n a book somewhere.
