Breadcrumbs, as you allude, originate from the Hansel and Gretel fable. They show a website visitor how they got to where they are, as the breadcrumbs did for Hansel and Gretel. Rather than a simple discrete "current" location, it shows the path followed to the location.
 
Google has plenty more links to the origin of the term.

Subject: [cfaussie] [ot] bread crumbs

Who came up with the name "Breadcrumbs", and is it really being used as it was intended when the person thought of the word "Breadcrumb" to describe some functionality?
