What is My Birth Name Number?

Published in Numerology Name Number 2 mins read

Your birth name number is calculated by assigning numerical values to each letter in your full birth name, summing those values, and then reducing the sum to a single digit.

Here's a breakdown of how to find your birth name number:

Steps to Calculate Your Birth Name Number

  1. Assign Numbers to Letters: Use the following chart to assign a number to each letter of the alphabet:

    Letter Number Letter Number Letter Number
    A 1 J 1 S 1
    B 2 K 2 T 2
    C 3 L 3 U 3
    D 4 M 4 V 4
    E 5 N 5 W 5
    F 6 O 6 X 6
    G 7 P 7 Y 7
    H 8 Q 8 Z 8
    I 9 R 9

  2. Write Your Full Birth Name: Use the name given to you at birth, including all middle names.

  3. Add Up the Numbers: Sum the numerical values of all the letters in your full name.

  4. Reduce to a Single Digit:

    • If the sum is a single digit, that's your birth name number.
    • If the sum is a two-digit number, add those two digits together.
    • Continue adding digits until you get a single digit between 1 and 9.

As stated in the reference, "Reduce the sum of your name's numbers into a single digit." If for example, the sum of your letters is a 25, split the 25 and add 2+5 to equal 7. The 7 is your true name number.

  • J = 1

  • E = 5

  • Sum: 1 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 5 = 27

  • Reduce to a single digit: 2 + 7 = 9

Therefore, the birth name number for "Jane Doe" is 9.
