Everyone knows the left hand is the sinister one...

In Spanish the right and left are called diestra (dexterous) and siniestra (sinister) respectively.

That originates from Latin actually.

Well. It’s Spanish. Most of it originated from Latin.

I know them as derecha e izquierda for the directions and I'm bilingual in spanish.

Diestro is right handed but for left handed I hear zurdo more. I don't think I've ever heard someone use siniestro.
