Widow's-peak
A widow's peak is a descending V-shaped point in the middle of the hairline (above the forehead). The trait is inherited genetically and dominant. The term comes from English folklore, where it was believed that this hair formation was a sign of premature widowhood.
Widow's Peak is also a 1994 British movie starring Mia Farrow, John Irvin, and Natasha Richardson.
