Why Numerology for Baby Name?
Some parents choose their baby’s name using numerology because they believes that numerology can shape their child’s character and destiny. Numerology might help draw out positive qualities and bring good luck in personality. It’s also a way to connect the name with family roots or spiritual beliefs. Plus, it adds a personal touch, making the naming process special and meaningful. In the end, it’s all about giving their little one a name that’s not just beautiful but also full of potential.
How Does It Work?
- Calculations: Numerology involves simple calculations of numbers and letters. For example, each letter in the alphabet is assigned a number (A=1, B=2, etc.). These are then added together from a person’s name or birth date to reduce them down to a single digit or a master number (11, 22, 33).
- Interpretation: The single-digit or master number is then interpreted to give insights into personality, life challenges, opportunities, and destiny.
How to do Calculation?
Numerology assigns a number from 1 to 9 to each letter in the alphabet, as follows:
1 – A, J and S
2 – B, K and T
3 – C, L and U
4 – D, M and V
5 – E, N and W
6 – F, O and X
7 – G, P and Y
8 – H, Q and Z
9 – I and R
After determining the numerical values for each letter in a name, the next step is to sum these numbers. If this sum is a double-digit number, it should be reduced further by adding its individual digits. For instance, if the total numerical value of a name is 23 you would add the two digits together (2 + 3), resulting in a final numerological value of 5 for the name.
