Pinkies are the smallest fingers on our hands. They are also known as little fingers or fifth fingers. In some regions, they are called the "pinky finger." The term "pinky" is believed to have come from the Dutch word "pink," meaning "little finger." The use of "pinkies" to refer to little fingers has been a part of the English language for centuries. Another synonym for pinkies is the digitus minimus or minimus digit. In informal settings, people may refer to pinkies as "baby fingers" or "pinky toes," which are not entirely accurate, but they convey the idea of being small and delicate.
