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.
