What is your Name Number?
Your Name Number — also called the Namank in Vedic numerology — comes from adding up the Chaldean values of the letters in your full name and reducing them to a single digit (1–9). Unlike your birth numbers it is chosen, not fixed, and reflects what your name broadcasts to the world.
It differs from your Birth Number, which comes from your birth day alone and reflects your everyday, instinctive self. A numerologist checks your Name Number against your Birth and Destiny Numbers before recommending it as a good fit.
