Best Answer

The name 'Lady Fingers' has been dropped by some Kosher bakeries from the Kosher for Passover Orthodox-Jewish version of the leavening-free treat. The treats have been renamed to either 'Baby Fingers', 'L Fingers' or just plain 'Fingers', depending on the manufacturer. Some say the reason for this name change is due to the association between the treat and the female anatomy which, according to Orthodox Judaism, is immodest.

ANSWER: Ladyfingers were named (by the British) for their resemblance to the graceful fingers of ladies, which they apparently reminded someone of.
