Name Number

Definition: the root number obtained by summing the numerical values of the letters in a name according to the Pythagorean table (Latin alphabet letters → 1–9). Applying numerology to a person's name is a form of onomancy (divination by name); onomatomania, as a distinct form of numerical mysticism, summed the values of name letters and used them in interpretation.
