<Tr> <Th> FMA </Th> <Td> 24948 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terminology (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> The ring finger is the finger on which it is the custom in a particular culture for a wedding ring to be placed during a wedding ceremony and on which the wedding ring is subsequently worn to indicate the status of the wearer as a married person . It is commonly the finger between the middle finger and the little finger, and is so named because in some cultures it is the finger on which one usually wears a wedding ring after marriage . In some cultures the wedding ring is worn on the "ring finger" of the left hand and in others it is on the right hand . Traditionally, a wedding ring was worn only by the bride / wife, but in recent times more men also wear a wedding ring . It is also the custom in some cultures to wear an engagement ring on the ring finger . </P> <P> The origin of the selection of the fourth finger as the ring finger is not definitively known . According to László A. Magyar, the names of the ring finger in many languages reflect an ancient belief that it is a magical finger . It is named after magic or rings, or called nameless (for example, in Chinese: 无名指, unnamed finger). In Sanskrit and other languages like Finnish or Russian, the ring finger is called respectively - "Anamika", "Nimetön" and "Безымянный" ("nameless"). In Arabic and Hebrew, the ring finger is called respectively - bansur (meaning "victory") - and kmitsa (meaning "taking a handful"). </P>
