In ASL (American Sign Language), your name must be finger spelled. The only way to learn your sign name is to ask a friend who is Deaf. from then on out, you can introduce yourself using that sign after finger spelling your name. I emphasis the fact that ONLY a Deaf FRIEND can give you your sign name since your name reflects an aspect of your personality or something that can be associated with you
curl the index fingers around each other right on top/left on top
Names do not have prescribed signs. They are either spelled, or a special sign is created by a friend or loved one.
American Sign Language was once known {or referred to} (primarily by hearing people, or disability advocacy groups such as the American Red Cross) as Ameslan. There is no distinction between Ameslan and American Sign Language, except that the term "Ameslan" is no longer in prominent usage, wheras the terms American Sign Language and the abbreviated form ASL are. Currently, it is more proper to refer to this Sign Language as American Sign Language rather than Ameslan.
