The word sinister comes from a Latin word meaning ‘left.’

In Ireland, Ciotóg is a word used to describe left-handed people, which also means ‘strange person.’

All over the world, the word left has meanings ranging from ‘clumsy’ to ‘improper’ to ‘sly’ to ‘evil.’

In many cultures, left-handed children were forced to use their right hand, or else ostracized because of their use of their left hand.

Recently, the number of left-handed people in the human population has been increasing steadily, perhaps because of the cessation of such practices mentioned above.

Some left-handed people include:

Joan of Arc

Lloque Yapanqui, Inca monarch

Ramses II, Egyptian pharaoh

Alexander the Great

Julius Caesar

Napoléon Bonaparte

King Louis XVI of France

Queen Victoria of England

Fidel Castro

Helen Keller

Edwin Buzz Aldrin, astronaut

Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts (ambidexterous)

Joel Hodgson, host of Mystery Science Theater

Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons

Boston Strangler (Albert Henry DeSalvo), serial killer

Jack-the-Ripper

Bart Simpson
Ned Flandidly-anders

Raphael

Michaelangelo

Leonardo da Vinci

M. C. Escher
