This system assigns numerical values to letters based on an ancient Greek numerology system often attributed to Pythagoras. It calculates a final numerical value by summing the values associated with each letter in a name. For instance, if A=1, B=2, and C=3, the name “ABC” would have a numerical value of 6. Various interpretations are then applied to these resulting numbers, associating them with personality traits, strengths, or supposed destinies.
Such numerological systems, while lacking scientific basis, hold cultural significance and enduring interest. They offer a lens through which individuals can explore self-discovery and seek symbolic meaning in names. Historically, numerology intertwined with philosophical and spiritual traditions, reflecting a human desire to understand the self and the universe through numerical patterns. This historical context contributes to the continued fascination with such systems.
