Your Name’s Secret Meaning, Revealed

"What's in a name?" Shakespeare's Juliet asks. Well, actually, a lot. Some believe that your name — based on the letters it includes and their placement — can provide some pretty enlightening insights into your personality, goals, and dreams, and even how you approach difficult situations. According to numerology, its letters hold hidden meanings.

Numerology is "the study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies," says Astrology-Numerology.com. Each letter has a numeric value that allows you to decode your name (or, a friend's, S.O.'s, or crush's). Ahead, with the help of a few extensive online sources, we break down the meanings of your initials according to numerology — but there are no crazy equations involved, we promise.
