The white area at the base of a fingernail is called lunula, which means ‘little moon’ in Latin. This crescent-shaped area is the most sensitive in a nail. Lunula can tell a lot about a person depending on the finger on which it appears. If a fingernail lacks lunula that person is vulnerable to misfortune and ill-health.
