A name or signature written by hand; a word or term that comes from or is expressed through handwriting or hand gestures.
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + '-onym' (name). A rare term that reflects the connection between hand movements and naming or identification.
Before printing, a chironym (someone's handwritten signature) was the ultimate proof of identity and agreement—which is why forging handwriting was such a serious crime.
