The name "Mother Goose" likely originated from French Fairy Tales and folklore. Charles Perrault's collection of fairy tales, published in 1697, included a fairy tale anthology with a character named Mother Goose. Over time, Mother Goose became associated with nursery rhymes and children's stories.
