The Numerology of Names

By: Amanda Coggin (View Profile)

  1. Add up the final numbers you get from each name (i.e. my middle name number is 8 and my last name number is 10, so 7+8+10 = 25).
  2. Once again, break down any double-digit numbers into one digit to get your final Destiny Number (i.e. from the 25 above, add together 2+5 to get 7, which is my final Destiny Number).


In numerology, the basic vibrations are numbers 1 through 9, but the numbers 11 and 22 are master numbers and should not be reduced to a single digit since these are master vibrations.

There are plenty of books and Web sites that will give you a thorough analysis of your Destiny Number, but here’s a basic rundown on what your Destiny Number means for you:

1 is determined, autonomous, and self-reliant

2 is loyal, tactful, and analytical

3 is passionate, positive, and fun-loving

4 is sensible, traditional, and serious

5 is bold, temperamental, and sensual

6 is responsible, cautious, and domestic

7 is spiritual, unconventional, and somewhat reclusive

8 is money-oriented, assured, and authoritative

9 is versatile, compassionate, and worldly

11 is enlightened, deep, and high-strung

22 is ambitious, a global planner, and motivated

I looked further into my 7, and found this interpretation through About Numerology.

“A Destiny number of 7 means you will find fulfillment through teaching others. By pursuing an ongoing quest for knowledge and then sharing your findings with your fellow man ... be it through teaching, writing or some other means ... you will bring joy into your own life. By following your destiny, your life should be an interesting life, one full of the exploration of science, mysteries, the occult, or other fascinating fields.”

When I think about the Amanda in me that I know, the explanation above sums me right up. Perhaps there’s more to numbers than I originally thought.

To determine the personal destiny number add all the numbers in your date of birth. I was born October 29, 1974. I would add 1974 + 29 + 10 = 2013. 2013 = 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6. 6 is my personal destiny number. Remember, if you were born in 1974, don't drop the 19. Add 1974 as a whole number. A great way to check your math is to add the numbers digit by digit. 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 0 = 33 33 = 3 + 3 = 6. I have noticed that whether numbers are added horizontally or vertically, when the digits of the sum are added together and broken down to one number, the single digit number should still be the same both ways. Try it! Also: Multiply any number times 9. Add the digits of the product and the number is always 9. For example 9 x 3 = 27 27 = 2 + 7 = 9. 813 x 9 = 7,317 7317 = 7 + 3 + 1 + 7 = 18 18 = 1 + 8 = 9. See for yourself!

To obtain the PERSONA #: add all the consonants in a name. 4 + 9 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 8 = 56 56 = 5 + 6 = 11 11 = 1 + 1 = 2. Maria Elena Lopez Ruiz has a persona number of 2.

Use the formula provided in this article (A, J, S = 1; B, K, T = 2, etc.) To find the expression #: compute ALL the letters in a name. If your name is Maria Elena Lopez Ruiz, you compute ALL the letters in that name. M A R I A = 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 1. E L E N A = 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 1. L O P E Z = 3 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 8. R U I Z = 9 + 3 + 9 + 8. Add all these numbers together. 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 1 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 8 + 9 + 3 + 9 + 8 = 101. 101 = 1 + 0 + 1 = 2. The expression # for Maria Elena Lopez Ruiz is 2. To find the birthday #: tabulate the numbers of your date of birth. If you were born on the 3rd your birthday number is a 3. If you were born on the 29th (like me), you would add 2 + 9 = 11. You would then break that number down to a single digit, 11 = 1 + 1 = 2. To find the MOTIVATION # (also known as the SOUL URGE #): add all the vowels in a name: 1 + 9 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 9 = 45 45 = 4 + 5 = 9. Maria's motivation # is 9.

so somebody help me out here: im getting confused as to the calculation amanda puts in her article. she tells you to break down all double digits numbers into single digits, that i get. but why does she say her last name is a 10? should it not be broken down to 1+0 = 1? my first name is 20 so i figured that would be 2, my middle is 10 so i thought that would be 1, and my last is 40 which i assumed would be a 4. add that all up, you get either 6 or 70 then broken down into 7. does ANY of that make sense? if anyone can guide me, id appreciate it. thanks!
