Today I found out that the little swelling, at the front of the opening in the ear, is called the tragus. The similar bump, in the lower rear of the opening of the ear, is called the antitragus. The name originated from the Greek, tragos, which means, he goat. Referring to the tufts of hair that often grow in the inner part of the tragus like a goat's beard.
