Chaldean vs Pythagorean, in one minute

Chaldean (this tool)

The older Babylonian system used across Indian numerology. Letters map to 1–8 by sound; no letter maps to 9, which is held sacred. Compound totals matter, and 11, 22, 33 stay unreduced.

Pythagorean (Western)

Maps A–Z to 1–9 in alphabetical order. Simpler, common on Western sites — and it gives different numbers for the same name, so don't mix readings between systems.

Frequently asked questions

Which system does this use — Chaldean or Pythagorean?

Chaldean, the older Babylonian system used across Indian numerology. Letters map to 1–8 by sound vibration (no letter maps to 9, which is considered sacred). Pythagorean, common in the West, maps A–Z to 1–9 alphabetically — the two give different numbers for the same name.

What are master numbers?

If a name's total is 11, 22 or 33 it is kept as-is rather than reduced, since these carry their own meaning in numerology. Anything else reduces to a single digit.

Should I enter my full name or calling name?

Try both. Traditionalists read the full birth-certificate name for destiny and the everyday calling name for how the world receives you. Comparing the two is half the fun.

Is my name stored anywhere?

No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
