You’ve probably already heard that names have power and meaning, but did you know that you can uncover the mysteries of your own name through numerology? By adding up the numbers linked to the letters in your name, you can reveal all sorts of hidden insights. Numerology can help you understand your talents, challenges, and destiny that are worth knowing.
In this article, I’ll show you step-by-step instructions on how to calculate your name number. We’ll also take a look at what the individual numbers mean about your personality, future, and fate. The whole process is super easy.
Note: Your name number in numerology isn’t the same as your life path number. Your name number is calculated based on the letters in your name, not your birth date.
How To Calculate Your Name Number
If you’re interested in numerology and figuring out the number for your name, it’s actually a pretty straightforward process. All you have to do is assign a number value to each letter in your full name based on where it falls in the alphabet.
A is 1, B is 2, and so on, all the way to I is 9, then it starts over with J as 1 again. Once you’ve replaced all the alphabet letters with numbers, you just add them up. The total is supposed to represent certain traits and energies associated with you.
For example, here’s how to calculate the name Denise:
D = 4
E = 5
N = 5
I = 9
S = 1
E = 5
Add up all the numbers: 4 + 5 + 5 + 9 + 1 + 5 = 29
Keep adding numbers together until you’re left with just one digit 29: 2 + 9 = 11 and 1 + 1 = 2.
The name number for Denise is 2.
Here’s a template of all the numerology numbers for alphabet:
When figuring out your family name number, you use the same process. Let’s say your family name is “Brown”:
B = 2
R = 9
O = 6
W = 5
N = 5
2 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 27 and 2 + 7 is 9.
For someone with the surname Brown, their family name number is 9.

Uncover Your Traits & Destiny
Your name’s numerological value can provide insight into your personality, talents, weaknesses, dreams, and destiny. Once you know your name number, here’s what each one represents:
1. Pioneer And Leader
1s are independent go-getters who like to blaze their own trail. They’ve got big ambitions and aren’t afraid to be leaders. When a 1 sets their mind to something, they go after it full steam ahead. Actions speak louder than words for 1s too – they don’t just talk about what they’re going to do, they actually make it happen.
2. Peacemaker And Visionary
Twosare sensitive and peaceful. And they’re really intuitive, too – they can sense what people need to feel harmonious. No wonder they make such great counselors, diplomats, and artists. Family, friends, and just getting along with others is everything to twos. They really value cooperation and building people up. They are a joy to be around.
3. Expressive And Sociable Person
Threes love being the life of the party. Everything is more fun when a three is around – they really know how to light up any room. And man, can they talk! Threes are so expressive through what they say and do. It’s like they were made to entertain. No wonder so many of them end up as actors, writers, or running their own businesses. They’ve just got that gift of gab and persuasion. Before you know it, a three will have the whole crowd laughing or getting on board with their ideas. They were born to charm people with their words.
4. Stable Organizer
The number 4 in numerology is all about structure and order – being practical. Folks whose name adds up to 4 tend to be really organized and methodical in their thinking. They like things to be stable and secure in their life and jobs. They can be pretty pragmatic, down-to-earth people, too. Not too big on abstract ideas, they prefer facts and actual results you can see.
5. Diligence And Diversity
If your name number is five, then you probably value your independence. You like having variety in your life and keeping things flexible with your work. I bet you enjoy traveling and trying new experiences. That five number also means you’re adaptable and willing to take smart risks. It’s not that you do risky things just because you live by the motto that you only get one life, so you might as well make the most of it.
6. Responsible Caregiver
If you have a six in your name, you tend to be a caring person who wants to make the world a little better. Folks with six in their name are usually responsible, reliable, and care about others. Fairness and stability are important to you, and you like when everyone works together. Helping others is something you really value. Health stuff also seems interesting – maybe medicine, herbs, that kind of thing. You probably want to lend a hand or take care of people whenever you can.
7. Spiritually Based
People whose name has the number 7 tend to be very analytical and logical. They really like learning new things and gaining knowledge and wisdom. They also can be pretty introspective and think really deeply about life’s big mysteries.
Having a 7 in your name means you sometimes need some alone time to recharge and just think things over. These people seem like they’d be into philosophy, religion, and things about spirituality.
8. Purposeful Leaders
People with the number 8 in their name are usually really ambitious and successful, especially when it comes to managing resources. They really care about status and power and being in control. These folks tend to be super goal-oriented and determined too, and good at handling lots of details and complex systems. If they’re not the big bosses of huge companies, then being their own boss as an independent person would suit them well. Eights also don’t really care who they have to step on to get what they want. They’re totally convinced that if their mind is set on something, they can make it happen no matter what.
9. Intuitive Idealists
9s are idealistic and compassionate. They really want to make the world a better place. And they tend to be creative and intuitive too, very open to spiritual kinds of things. They really care about helping others and being dedicated to important causes. Plus, they like expanding their way of thinking and seeing different perspectives on life. Nine is definitely one of the most respectful numbers. They don’t pay any mind to superficial stuff like gender, skin color, or religion. For them, it’s all about a person’s character.
Good Numbers
In name numerology, some numbers are seen as lucky or bringing good fortune. Numbers like 1, 3, 5, and 7 are usually thought of as good numbers.
