Gematria is an ancient alphanumeric code that assigns numerical values to letters, words, and phrases. Originating in Hebrew tradition over 2,500 years ago, it has been used in Kabbalah, biblical interpretation, and modern numerological research to find hidden connections between words that share the same numerical value.

How many cipher systems does Gematria Vault support?

Gematria Vault supports 14 cipher systems: English Ordinal, Full Reduction, Reverse Ordinal, Reverse Full Reduction, Sumerian, Reverse Sumerian, Jewish (Hebrew), Chaldean, Francis Bacon, ALW Kabbalah, KFW Kabbalah, Septenary, Primes, and Pythagorean.

What is the difference between English Ordinal and Full Reduction?

English Ordinal assigns A=1 through Z=26 — the straightforward sequential value of each letter. Full Reduction reduces each letter value to a single digit (so J=10 becomes 1, K=11 becomes 2, etc.), following the Pythagorean tradition of reducing all numbers to their single-digit root.

What is the Jewish or Hebrew Gematria cipher?

The Jewish cipher maps traditional Hebrew letter values onto the Latin alphabet. Hebrew letters have fixed values: Aleph=1, Bet=2, Gimel=3 through Tav=400, with tens (Yod=10 through Tzadi=90) and hundreds (Qof=100 through Tav=400). This is the oldest continuous gematria tradition, used in Kabbalistic study for over 2,500 years.

What does my name mean in gematria?

To find your name's gematria value, type your first name (or full name) into the calculator. Each letter is assigned a number based on the cipher — for example, in English Ordinal, A=1, B=2 … Z=26. The calculator adds all letter values to produce your name's total. Different ciphers (Jewish, Chaldean, Pythagorean, etc.) will give different values, each reflecting a different numerological tradition.

What cipher does gematria use?

Gematria uses many different cipher systems depending on the tradition. The most common are: English Ordinal (A=1–Z=26), Full Reduction (single-digit Pythagorean), Sumerian (A=6–Z=156), Jewish/Hebrew (traditional Hebrew letter values), Chaldean (ancient Babylonian, no 9), Francis Bacon (uppercase A=27–Z=52), and Kabbalah variants (ALW and KFW). Gematria Vault lets you calculate across all 14 simultaneously.
