These are my guesses.
Snow White: German
William and Jacob Grimm, the authors of the original fairytale, were German. Also, Snow White wear clogs while working as a maid for her stepmother. Clogs were wore by Germanic people that time, I believe.
Cinderella: French
There are fleur-de-lis on the walls of Cinderella's Chateau. The title "mademoiselle" (miss in French) is used many times through the movie. I believe that the surname of one elegible maiden at the ball is Dubois. That's French. Also, the version of the tale that Disney based of his movie is French.
Aurora: England
The names sound very English to me - Stephan, Phillip, Leah, Samson.
Ariel: Danish
I'm not so sure. The author of the fairytale was Danish. However, I've read an article in livejournal that said it was probably set in Portugal or Monaco, which I think is very reasonable. I've also heard people say it's set in Spain.
Belle: French
There are French words used through the movie (bonjour, mademoiselle, madame, l'amour, etc), Lumiere says it's France in Be Our Guest and the characters' names are French. Mrs. Potts, Chip and Cogsworth are English, though.
Jasmine: Arabian
The opening song is called "Arabian Nights" But I've read that the culture show in the movie is more Iraqui than Arabian.
Pocahontas: Powhatan (Native American)
The movie is set in Jamestown, Virginia, USA. It's one of the main aspects of the plot.
Mulan: China
There is a lot of Chinese elements in the movie: The Emperor of China, the Wall of China, Chinese names, the characters' physical appearance, the culture, the Ancestors, dragons.
Tiana: American
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The opening song is called "Down in New Orleans". Tiana's specialty is gumbo, which is, I believe, a dish of Cajun Cuisine. There's also a bayou in the movie and Lottie has a southern accent, no?
Rapunzel: German or Austrian
I don't know what to say. But I think the clothing is from Renaissance, the authors of the fairytale are the Brothers Grimm and Mozart is mentioned. He is Austrian, I believe.
Merida: Scotish
The Stonehenge circles shown in the movie, the characters' accent and the men wear kilts - and other cultural symbols, but I don't know them.
