Famous left-handed people
Other famous southpaws who are world leaders include former United States president Barack Obama and leader of India's independence movement Mahatma Gandhi.
Physicist Albert Einstein was also left-handed, and so was Beatle John Lennon.
The formal name for left-handedness is sinistrality.
It is derived from the Latin word "sinistra", for "on the left".
Interestingly, the Latin word "sinistra" took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in the English word "sinister".
