Frequently Asked Questions
What is my name number?
In the Chaldean system most used in India, each letter has a value from 1 to 8 (A, I, J, Q, Y = 1; B, K, R = 2; C, G, L, S = 3; D, M, T = 4; E, H, N, X = 5; U, V, W = 6; O, Z = 7; F, P = 8 — no letter is given 9). Add the values of the name you use, and that total is your compound number; reduce it to one digit 1–9 for your name number. Shah Rukh Khan: SHAH 14 + RUKH 15 + KHAN 13 = 42 → 4 + 2 = 6.
What is a compound number?
The two-digit total before the final reduction. Cheiro's "Book of Numbers" (1926) gives a traditional meaning for each compound from 10 to 52 — 42, for example, carries the meaning of 24 (help from people in position). His list stops at 52; for a higher total we say so plainly and read it through his "same series" rule (subtract 9 until the number is 52 or less).
What if my name total is 11, 22 or 33?
Indian name-number practice reduces every total to a single digit, so 33 → 6. In the Western (Pythagorean) convention 11, 22 and 33 are master numbers and are kept. We show the Indian name number first and, when a master number occurs, the "Western master number" separately — so you never see two unlabelled answers.
What is the difference between Chaldean and Pythagorean name numerology?
Chaldean (the first tab) assigns letters by sound with values 1–8 and is the system most Indian numerologists use for name numbers and spellings. Pythagorean (the Western tab) numbers the alphabet in order, A=1 … I=9, J=1 …, and gives the Expression, Soul Urge (vowels — Y counts when no other vowel is beside it, as in Lynn or Mary) and Personality (consonants) numbers. The two systems usually give different numbers for the same name.
Should I use my full birth name or current name?
The Western tradition uses the full name given at birth. Indian name-number practice usually looks at the name you actually use day to day. Many people calculate both and compare.
