What is the name of every finger?

Published in Finger Anatomy 2 mins read

The names of each finger are thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger (also known as the pinky).

While the reference video "Finger Names in English | Educational Video | Pants Bear Kids | Cartoons" does not specifically list all the finger names, it is a common educational topic for children, and these are universally accepted names.


Here's a breakdown:

  • Thumb: The short, thick finger located on the side of the hand.
  • Index Finger: The first finger next to the thumb. Often used for pointing.
  • Middle Finger: The longest finger in the middle of the hand.
  • Ring Finger: The finger located between the middle finger and the little finger, and often where a ring is worn.
  • Little Finger (Pinky): The smallest finger on the outside of the hand.
