סנדלר - Cinderella

Just thought it interesting, the close spelling of Cinderella to the hebrew word for shoe and shoesmith -- סנדל וסנדלר, respectively. Cinderella being a story about shoes.

Wonder if that was at all a factor in the person who created the Cinderella story. Probably not though since according to Wikipedia the earlier versions of the story went by different names not very similar to the word 'Cinderella'.
