Fairies is just one of names for fairies. Most of older myths are forgotten, as people of old would never call some of fae fairy as it is some big insult in their culture and faery code of honour demands them to reapy everything equally, and with time debt just grows, so saying fairy is like tempting fa(t)e to come and destroy all you love. There is reason why fae means fate or doom depending on whom you ask. Modern image of tiny fairies are pixies, but even they are dangerous as hell. Pixies were believed to sour milk,mcattle ill and cause crops to rot (if they don't affect climate so there would always be storm only around your house or cause earth to be infertile) if slighted. There are few humanoid fairies, leprechauns,dwarves,pixies,nymphs, selkies in human form and Sidhe (strongest,most powerful and smartest of fae, think ethernally unnaturally beautiful humans, like Tolkien's elves but more beautiful, with godlike power at least).)
