The Chaldean letter values
In Chaldean numerology, letters are assigned by sound vibration rather than simple alphabetical order. The number 9 is usually kept apart as a sacred or completion number, so no English letters are assigned directly to 9 in the core chart.
How to calculate a name number
- Write the daily-use name, the version people actually call you.
- Convert each letter to its Chaldean value using the chart.
- Add the values to get the compound number.
- Reduce the compound number to a single digit, unless you are interpreting the compound separately.
Example: Priya
P = 8, R = 2, I = 1, Y = 1, A = 1. The compound total is 13. Reduce 13 as 1 + 3 = 4. So the reduced name number is 4, with a compound-number layer of 13.
