There is no actual single origin as to why hangnails are called "Stepmother's Blessings," but the negative connotation with stepmothers may have lead to it. It has long been a stereotype that stepmothers were "a pain" and were cracks in families, so it may have be linked to the pain of having a nail crack and form a hangnail.
