Name numerology calculator

Most calculators pick one system and never tell you which. This one runs Pythagorean, Chaldean and Abjad at the same time so you can see how much the answer depends on the method. Turkish letters are handled — ş, ğ, ı, ö, ü and ç all have values.

How the number is worked out

  1. 1

    Every letter gets a number

    Pythagorean maps A=1 through I=9 and then repeats. Chaldean uses a different, non-sequential map based on sound, and assigns 9 to no letter at all. Abjad uses the classical Arabic values, so a Latin name is transliterated first.

  2. 2

    The letters are added up

    All of them for your expression number, the vowels only for your soul urge, the consonants only for your personality. Which letters count as vowels is not always obvious — Y is a vowel in MARY and a consonant in MAYA.

  3. 3

    The total is reduced to one digit

    Add the digits, repeat until one is left. The exception is 11, 22 and 33, which stop the reduction because they are master numbers. If the chain passes through 13, 14, 16 or 19 it carries a karmic debt — a Pythagorean idea with no Chaldean equivalent.

Which system should you use?

There is no correct answer, and any site that gives you one is hiding a choice. Western practice defaults to Pythagorean. Chaldean is older and, its practitioners argue, closer to how the name actually sounds. Abjad answers a different question entirely — it reads the name as it would be written in Arabic script, which for a Turkish name is a genuinely different word.

The useful move is not picking one. It is noticing where they agree.

Tuzlu kahve — salty coffee. In the Turkish marriage proposal the bride serves the groom coffee with salt in it: a test handed over as hospitality, to see how he takes something unwelcome. The grounds left in that cup are then read. Both halves of this site are in that one small ritual.
