Often wondered this myself but afriad I can't help- however, a bit of trivia, if you'll allow me?
In latin, left, or left-handed, is 'sinister'. So maybe all lefties are eeeeeeevil.....mahahahaha!
PS, yep, I'm a leftie too!

In ancient Rome, left-handedness was known and left-handers were called sinister. As this was considered unnatural as 90% are right-handers, the word got its current meaning.

lol
I think left handers pre-date the term, and writing, so I don't think we'll ever know...
...there is one (slightly) interesting fact tho...
AWK was the saxon word for left, while WARD means direction...
...so AWKWARD is leftward or left handed...
...A BIG HI to all those other AWKWARD ppl out there!!!
(Keep giving them hell!!!)
*waves with left hand*
