What Is Name Numerology?
Name numerology is an ancient science that assigns numerical value to every letter in the name. As per it, every letter carries an energy, and based on the numerical value assigned, the resulting number determines your career, relationships, and the quality of life. In a nutshell, name numerology shapes reality and determines whether your name is hindering your progress or helping you grow, as it subconsciously creates a vibrational frequency in your outer and inner worlds.

What Are the 3 Different Numbers As Per Chalden System?
The three different numbers, as per name numerology and in accordance with the Chalden system, are destiny number/expression number, personality number/dream number, and heart’s desire number/soul urge number. The calculation of such numbers is based on the assigned number to every letter, listed in the table below.
Here’s the Chaldean numerology letter assignment in simple points:
- Number 1 to A, I, J, Q, Y
- Number 2 to B, K, R
- Number 3 to C, G, L, S
- Number 4 to D, M, T
- Number 5 to E, H, N, X
- Number 6 to U, V, W
- Number 7 to O, Z
- Number 8 to F, P
What Is Destiny/Expression Number?
The Destiny or Expression number reveals the life path you will follow or how you will experience life. In a nutshell, it means
- What is your life purpose?
- What talents or abilities were you born with?
What challenges will you face and how will you overcome them? - What is your ultimate destination in this lifetime?
- Which career should you pursue or follow?
How Is Destiny/Expression Number Calculated?
The calculation of destiny or expression number is pretty simple. All you have to do is jot down your name and list the specific number as per the letter. Say, for example, “PREETI.” Jot down numbers which come to “P” at 8, “R” at 2, “E” at 5, “E” at 5, “T” at 4, and “I” at 1. The compound number is 8+2+5+5+4+1=25. Hence, the destiny number is “7”.
What Is Personality/ Dream Number?
Your personality number is your outer image, or how others perceive you in public. In a nutshell, it means
- What energy do you radiate in the room?
- How do you present yourself naturally in public?
- What traits or characteristics do people figure out in you when they don’t know you?
- What first impression do you leave on people?
How Is Personality/Dream Number Calculated?
The personality or dream number is calculated by adding consonants in a name. Say, for example, the name is “PREETI”: simply add P (8), R (2), and T (4), which sums to the compound number 14 and the single number 5. Hence, the personality number, as calculated manually and using the name numerology calculator, comes out to 5.
What Is Heart Desire/Soul Urge Number?
The heart desire or soul urge number reveals what you want at your core. In a nutshell, it means
- What your soul craves for?
- What motivates you at the soul level?
- What relationship do you secretly want?
- What keeps your soul at peace?
- What will make your life meaningful or purposeful?
How Is Heart Desire/Soul Urge Calculated?
The name numerology calculator simply adds all the vowels in a name and assigns them a number according to the Chalden system. Say, for example, “PREETI”: the compound number is formed by adding E, E, and I. The number assigned to E would be 5; another E would also be 5; and for I, it would be 1, which would be a compound number 11 and a single number 2.
