limau jari,^[1]^[2]
limau/jeruk tangan^[3] atau limau/jeruk tangan Buddha (Bahasa Cina: 佛手柑code: zh is deprecated ; pinyin: fóshǒugān, Jepun: 仏手柑code: ja is deprecated bushukan, Korea: 불수감code: ko is deprecated bulsugam) kerana dipercayai menyerupai gambaran tangan Buddha
limau kuku harimau kerana boleh menyerupai kaki berkuku harimau.^[4]
