A clubbed thumb is a term used to describe the genetic clubbing of one or both thumbs. It is characterized by a short, fat thumb that is round. The thumb nail is wide and short. The scientific term for "clubbed thumb" is Brachydactyly type D or "BDD". The condition is sometimes known as murderer's thumb, a name originally coined by gypsy fortune tellers or potter's thumb. More recently, it has been referred to as Toe thumb for its resemblance to the big toe. It has been said that those born with the Einstein thumb (also known as the "clubbed thumb," "European thumb," "stub thumb," "midget thumb," "toe thumb," and "witch's thumb") possess an extremely strong will. Further, clubbed thumbs are historically thought of as a sign of royalty, common in royal European blood-lines.
