Numerology alphabets are letter-to-number charts used to convert names into numerical values. These charts are most commonly used in name numerology systems such as Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology. Because the systems use different mappings, the same name can produce different results depending on the method.
Quick answer
A numerology alphabet chart assigns a number to each letter so a name can be converted into a sequence or total. The two most common systems are Pythagorean and Chaldean, and they do not map letters in exactly the same way.
Pythagorean numerology alphabet
| Number | Letters |
|---|---|
| 1 | A, J, S |
| 2 | B, K, T |
| 3 | C, L, U |
| 4 | D, M, V |
| 5 | E, N, W |
| 6 | F, O, X |
| 7 | G, P, Y |
| 8 | H, Q, Z |
| 9 | I, R |
Chaldean numerology alphabet
| Number | Letters |
|---|---|
| 1 | A, I, J, Q, Y |
| 2 | B, K, R |
| 3 | C, G, L, S |
| 4 | D, M, T |
| 5 | E, H, N, X |
| 6 | U, V, W |
| 7 | O, Z |
| 8 | F, P |
Why the charts differ
Pythagorean numerology follows a straightforward alphabetical sequence, while Chaldean numerology uses a different symbolic structure. Because of that, name totals may vary between systems. Neither method is universally accepted as the only correct one.
How these charts are used
- calculating expression or destiny numbers from names
