Why is it Called the 'Ring Finger'?

By A Mystery Man Writer

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.
