How can the letters in your name reveal hidden truths about your personality and life path? Discover how to map your name to numerology and uncover the traits that shape your identity.
Have you ever wondered if your name means more than it seems?
You might have heard that numerology can help you learn deep truths about yourself—like who you are, how you think, and how you connect with the world. But did you know that your name, the one you've had since birth, may hold the key to your soul's purpose?
In numerology, your Name Number shows key parts of your personality. It also reveals how you express yourself and how others see your energy. Every letter in your name has its own number and energy. These energies link to your life path and your destiny. In this guide, you’ll learn how to find your Name Number and what it tells you about your unique traits.
Let’s begin with an example—singer and actress Jessica Simpson—and see how her Name Number may have shaped her life and career.
How to Find Your Name Number
In Pythagorean Numerology, each letter in the alphabet connects to a number from 1 to 9. Here's the number chart:
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
Let’s walk through how to use this chart with Jessica Simpson’s name.
Example: Jessica Simpson’s Name Number
Step 1: Write out her full name
Jessica Ann Simpson (We use the full name—first, middle, and last).
Step 2: Match each letter to its number
Jessica:
J = 1
E = 5
S = 1
S = 1
I = 9
C = 3
A = 1
Total: 1 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
Ann:
A = 1
N = 5
N = 5
Total: 1 + 5 + 5 = 11 (This is a Master Number, so we don’t reduce it).
Simpson:
S = 1
I = 9
M = 4
P = 7
S = 1
O = 6
N = 5
Total: 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 6 + 5 = 33 (Also a Master Number).
Step 3: Add all the name parts together
3 (Jessica) + 11 (Ann) + 33 (Simpson) = 47 → 4 + 7 = 11 (Another Master Number)
