The fourth finger on the hand in Russian is called the nameless. His naming is also found in Sanskrit, Persian and Tatar languages. What is the reason? Why exactly the ring finger? It was called that because, in the opinion of representatives of these peoples, it does not carry any special functions and does not have exceptional properties. But is it really so?
Let's figure it out!
In many other countries, the ring finger is called the ring finger . This is due to the tradition of putting on it an engagement ring - a symbol of marriage. In the Catholic denomination, it is worn on the left hand. This choice of finger to confirm the bonds of marriage is far from accidental. According to legend, only from the nameless on the left hand comes a straight vein to the heart. In the Orthodox faith, everything is different - the ring finger of the right hand serves to wear a wedding ring.

A big role is played by the ring finger in palmistry. This finger is responsible for the creative principle of man. The longer it is, the more pronounced are the talents and abilities for the arts. But the self-esteem of such people, by contrast, is very low. The ideal correlation, according to palmists, is the same length of the index and ring fingers - then a person has talent, moderate egoism, and adequate self-esteem.
It is believed that the first and fourth fingers of the left hand linked in a ring help a person understand exactly how other people relate to him, whether their feelings are sincere. And the same right gesture enhances one’s own manifestations of emotions.

But the anatomy connects the ring finger to the level of testosterone. The longer it is, the more this hormone is produced by the human adrenal glands. The length of the index finger correlates with another female hormone called estrogen. For this reason, by the way, a curious statistic was revealed: among people with a long fourth finger there are many successful athletes. Their achievements are related to the fact that testosterone increases the level of aggression and accelerates decision making - two things that are important in competitions.
But scientists from Cambridge also became interested in the features of this part of the body. And according to their research, interesting statistics come out. Scientists have linked the financial success of London traders with the length of their fingers. And it turned out that there is a relationship between such, at first glance, different things. More successful were those whose
ring fingers are longer than the index finger. And again, the reason most likely lies in testosterone. But if it is close in length to the average - then this is a sign of excitement.
But on the whole, the wonderful properties of the fourth finger end there. In everyday life, the ring finger practically does not function without its counterparts. This is due to the peculiarities of the location of the tendons in this part of the palm. Without other fingers, the nameless is literally involved in a couple of activities. So, he can independently participate in typing on the keyboard, as well as his individual role when playing musical instruments.
