Although they are called 'Fairy rings' in English, it is quite possible
that this has the same meaning of "enchanted rings" rather than rings for
cute Tinkerbell-style dancing. The word "faery" meant "enchanted" before
"fairies" were invented (see Tolkien "On Fairy Stories" and Shippey
"The Road to Middle Earth")
