Ladies' fingers, or "Savoyardi" means "Savoy" - this name is connected with the history of the appearance of the first recipe for this cookie. When the King of France visited Prince Amadeo of Savoy, an unusually delicious cookie was served to him as a treat - fragrant, soft, melting in his mouth. The king liked it so much that he asked for his recipe and, as a sign of favor and gratitude, named the cookies after the province of Savoy in order to perpetuate this dessert in the French culinary art. Shortly after that, Savoy cookies became the official confectionery of the Duchy of Savoy and the pride of all Frenchmen.
