The human hand has five digits. While we use them every day, many people, especially young children, struggle to remember their exact names in both English and Hindi. Here is the complete list.
Medically, the thumb is considered a 'digit' but not a true 'finger' because it only has two phalanges (bones), while the other four fingers have three.
The Ring finger in Hindi is called 'Anamika', which literally translates to 'without a name'.
The fingerprints on all these five digits are completely unique to every human.
Thumb
Index Finger (Also called Pointer finger)
Middle Finger
Ring Finger
Little Finger (Also called Pinky finger)
Ancient Romans believed that a vein in the fourth finger (the ring finger) ran directly to the heart (called the 'Vena Amoris'). Modern science has proven this false, but the tradition of wearing rings on this finger remains.
