How Nakshatra-based baby names work

In Vedic tradition, the Moon’s position at the moment of birth falls in one of 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions). Each Nakshatra is divided into four quarters (padas), and each pada has a traditional starting syllable. Families often choose a name beginning with the syllable of the baby’s birth pada.

Chaldean letter chart

The Chaldean chart gives each letter a value from 1 to 8. No letter is given 9, which this tradition treats as special, though a total can still reduce to 9.

Chaldean numerology letter values

Worked example: Ravi Kumar

  • Chaldean: RAVI = 2+1+6+1 = 10; KUMAR = 2+6+4+1+2 = 15; compound 25; name number 7.
  • Pythagorean: RAVI = 9+1+4+9 = 23; KUMAR = 2+3+4+1+9 = 19; total 42; name number 6.

Tradition and evidence

What is established: the method and the arithmetic. Anyone using the same inputs and rules gets the same result.

What is belief: that the result describes a person or predicts events. Scientific studies have not found that numerology predicts personality, compatibility or outcomes. Use the meanings for reflection and cultural interest, not for health, money, legal or relationship decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Chaldean chart have no 9?

In the Chaldean tradition 9 is considered sacred, so no letter is given that value. A total can still reduce to 9.

Should I include my surname?

Include every part of the name you want to check. The result shows each word separately.

How are accents and initials handled?

Accented letters become their plain form (é becomes E), initials count as single letters and punctuation is ignored.

Is the name I type stored?

No. The calculation runs in your browser.
