What your name number means
Your name total is reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9. In the Pythagorean method the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept as they are. Each digit has a traditional character, shown here in short. Traditions differ on some meanings, so treat these as a guide.

How a name is turned into a number
Choose the system on the calculator. The working is shown for every letter, so you can check it yourself.
Pythagorean
Letters A to Z are worth 1 to 9 in order, then start again. Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept.
Chaldean
Letters are worth 1 to 8 by sound. The number 9 is not given to a letter. Compound numbers 10 to 32 carry traditional titles.
Vowels and consonants
Vowels give the inner motive, consonants the outer image, and the whole name gives the name number.

Pythagorean gives letters the values 1 to 9 in order, and keeps master numbers 11, 22 and 33. Chaldean gives letters 1 to 8 by sound, and compound numbers from 10 to 32 carry traditional titles.
