Name numerology calculator
This name numerology calculator turns one name into a single digit from 1 to 9. It shows the whole path: every letter value, the sum, and the reduction. The formula is published below, so you can check it on paper. The name you type stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
How a name becomes a number
This page turns a single name into a number from 1 to 9, and it publishes the whole path so you can check it on paper. One rule applies to Latin, Cyrillic, and Devanagari: each letter is given its position in its own alphabet, and positions above 9 are wrapped around, so a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5, f=6, g=7, h=8, i=9, j=1, k=2, and so on to z=8. The numbers for all letters are added, and the sum is reduced by adding its digits until a single digit from 1 to 9 remains.
Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are shown in the breakdown when they appear along the way, but the final result is always 1–9. Before counting, the name is normalised: capitalisation is standardised, apostrophes and hyphens are standardised, and accents on Latin letters are removed, so José and Jose give the same number. You can use Latin, Cyrillic, or Devanagari, but do not mix writing systems in the same name.
In Devanagari, dependent vowel signs (matras) are given the value of their independent vowels, while virama, nukta, anusvara, invisible joiners and other combining marks except matras are skipped and listed separately. If a name has no letter with a position—for example łł—the tool asks you to enter a name that contains at least one such letter.
What the number means
The result is a digit from 1 to 9, and under it you will see a traditional interpretation for that number. These interpretations come from numerology as a counting system, not from any claim about your personality or future. The number is arithmetic on the spelling you typed; it does not know anything about you, your birth date, or your circumstances.
Treat it as a way to think about the name you entered, and nothing more.
