Siamese twins are an older, somewhat pejorative name for conjoined twins.

The term comes from the brothers Chang and Eng Bunker (1811-1874) who were born in Thailand, which at the time was known as Siam. They became world famous in their day as a medical curiosity, before moving to the United States, marrying and settling down.
