How Your Name Number Is Determined

Your name number (also called your destiny or expression number) is calculated by assigning a numerical value to each letter of your name using a numerological chart — either Chaldean (values 1–8) or Pythagorean (values 1–9 sequentially). The values are summed, then reduced to a single digit through digit root reduction.

The resulting number is then interpreted according to the meanings above. See our step-by-step calculation guide for a worked example, or use our free name numerology calculator to get your numbers instantly.
