 Etymology of English Hand Words
This originally meant 'palm of the hand' (it is related to Irish lám 'hand' and Welsh llaw 'hand'), and the application to the tree is a secondary one, alluding to the shape of the cluster of palm leaves, like the fingers of a hand.
word origins suggest that etymologically the the hand has five fingers, one of which is the thumb, that wrist is named for its twisting motion, but not because "wrist" rhymes with "twist", and that the origin of the word hand...is mysterious.
Palm: Palm the tree (Old English) and the palm of the hand (14th century) are effectively distinct words in English, but have the same ultimate source: Latin palma.

Black Hand, or Crna Ruka, officially Ujedinjenje ili Smrt ("Unification or Death"), a secret association founded in Serbia by pan-Serbian nationalists in May 1911 with the intention of uniting all of the territories containing Serb populations (notably Bosnia-Herzegovina, annexed by Austria-Hungary in October 1908).
In May 1917 Dimitrijevich was tried on charges of plotting against the royal government, then based in Thessaloniki, Greece following Serbia's occupation by Austro-Hungarian, German and Bulgarian forces in late 1915.
His subsequent execution signalled the Black Hand's eclipse by the monarchist White Hand, which was to dominate the political outlook of military leaders in the inter-war Yugoslav kingdom.
