How to use it

  1. Type the name in English letters, the way it will be spelt on certificates.
  2. Add the date of birth if you want to compare the name with the birth and destiny numbers.
  3. Try other spellings to see how the number changes, then browse Tamil baby names with the number you want.

Choosing a baby name

Tamil families usually start from the birth star: the first syllable of the name follows the star’s padam. Find the star from the date and time of birth with the Nakshatra Finder, browse names for that star, and then use numerology to choose between names or spellings.

Frequently asked questions

What is name numerology?
Name numerology gives every letter of a name a number, adds them up and reduces the total to a single digit from 1 to 9: the name number. Each number is linked to a planet. Many Tamil families check it when they choose a baby’s name or change the spelling of a name.
How is the name number worked out?
This calculator uses the Chaldean (Cheiro) values that most Tamil numerology books use: A, I, J, Q, Y = 1; B, K, R = 2; C, G, L, S = 3; D, M, T = 4; E, H, N, X = 5; U, V, W = 6; O, Z = 7; F, P = 8. No letter is 9. For example, Arun is A1 + R2 + U6 + N5 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5.
Should I use the Tamil or the English spelling?
The English spelling, because the letter values are for English letters. That is why the same Tamil name can have different numbers in different spellings, for example Karthik and Karthick. Each baby name page shows the number of every common spelling.
What are the birth number and the destiny number?
The birth number is the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit (born on the 23rd: 2 + 3 = 5). The destiny number, also called the life path number, adds up every digit of the full date of birth. A common practice is to choose a name whose number matches the birth number or the destiny number.
Is a particular number lucky or unlucky?
Numerologists differ, and there is no scientific evidence that a name number affects a person’s life. Use it as one of the things a family considers, along with the meaning of the name and the birth star.
