Name number and Expression number
Each letter of the Latin alphabet has a digit; their sum is reduced to one. The name people call you by gives the Name number — “how you are seen”. Your full name as in your documents gives the Expression number, “what is set from birth”. Your date of birth isn’t needed here at all.
A first name is enough for the Name number. Middle and last names — as in your documents — add the Expression number.

The name is only one slice. The Pythagorean Square works from your date of birth and shows what there’s a lot of in your character and what’s missing entirely; the Name number sits next to the square there and is read together with it.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Name number different from the Expression number?
They’re calculated the same way — by letters — but from different things. The Name number is calculated from the name people call you by, and tradition reads it as “how you are seen”. The Expression number comes from your full name as in your documents, and it’s read as “what is set from birth”. If the digits match, the outer and the inner are aligned in this logic; if they differ, we show both interpretations rather than choosing the “right” one.
Which name should I enter: full, short or as in my passport?
For the Name number — the one people actually call you: “Roman” and “Roman Romanovich Romanov” give different digits, and that’s not a calculation error but different questions. For the Expression number — strictly as in your documents. If all your life you’ve been called differently from what’s written, calculate both: the discrepancy is exactly what this system talks about.
Why does another calculator give a different digit?
Because of the letter table. There are several: besides the Pythagorean one there’s, for example, the Chaldean, where letters get other values. We count by the Pythagorean table and show the whole letter breakdown — you can recalculate by hand and see exactly where we differ from another site.
Won’t my first and last name be sent to a server?
No. The calculation runs in your browser; the page makes no server requests at all — you can check this in the developer tools on the “Network” tab. That’s why there’s no consent-to-processing checkbox here: there’s nothing to process.
What if the interpretation isn’t about me?
Then the calculation misses. Under each number there’s a specific check from your life — it’s deliberately worded so that it could turn out false. If it doesn’t fit, we won’t explain it away with “you haven’t opened up yet”: numerology isn’t a science, and a mismatch here is as legitimate an answer as a match.
