Read More »What to Know The fourth digit on the hand is known as the ring finger. This may come from earlier notions that this finger is directly connected to the heart via an artery, and some believed that wearing a ring of gold on this finger would cure ailments. Others believed that pinching, stabbing, or even bloodletting from this finger would cure ailments; hence its other, earlier name, the leech finger. Quick question: what is more romantic than earwax and leeches? If your answer to this question is “Why, nothing, of course!” then we have an etymological history that has your name written all over it. The 'ring finger' got its name from the ancient belief that a vein directly connected it to the human heart, and that wearing a ring on that finger might alleviate ailments. It was called the 'leech finger' for similar reasons. We occasionally receive queries from readers on the subject of love. Some of these, such as “how long does love last?” are outside of our purview. Others, such as the questions we receive on the subject of the ring finger ("Why do we call it the ring finger?" and "Is this the official name for that finger?"), we are better equipped to answer. There is no official name in English for any of our fingers. As the years have rolled by, each of our digits has seen various names come and go. But ring finger is currently the most common way of referring to the finger that lies between the pinkie and the middle finger on each hand (and it is not colloquial, slang, or otherwise frowned upon). We have referred to this finger as the one that the ring goes on since Old English, when it was called the hring finger. There is literally a ring on every one of Stefani's nine other fingers, except for the one that signifies marriage is in the future. She's even wearing six rings on her wrists to further offset the missing bobble on her left ring finger.

Fine: here is the earwax quote: The laste finger and leaste of all, is called the eare finger, because it is commonly vsed to make cleane the eares. —Johannes Indagine, Briefe Introductions, both Naturall, Pleasaunte, and also Delectable vnto the Art of Chiromancy (trans. by Fabian Withers), 1558 As mentioned previously, the other fingers have all had multiple names over the years (even the thumb, which is sometimes also referred to as the pollex).
