Work out your own name
The same name, counted four different ways — and only the fourth touches your date.
All four arrive as one document. Each chapter says first what that number describes for anybody, and only then reads the one your letters produced; the same file comes to your email as a PDF made for printing.
This page counts one spelling of one name. The document says what that costs the method — spell the name another way and the numbers move with it — and it says so in the first chapter, not in a footnote at the end.

The number costs nothing and asks for no address. The written reading is free as well — it asks for an email, because that is where the document is sent.
The calculation is free and needs no account. For entertainment and self-development only — not advice.
Catherine gives an Expression number of 2, a Soul Urge of 4 and a Personality of 9. Nine letters, five of them consonants, and the K/C choice that splits this name in English changes every number.

Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn
The name comes from Greek Αἰκατερίνη, of uncertain origin, later associated with katharos, pure — which is where the H in the Latin Catharina came from. English carries at least four living spellings, and they are genuinely different strings: C is 3 while K is 2, and Kathryn drops a vowel entirely. Anyone comparing results across the family is comparing spellings, not people.
Where the weight sits
The nine letters total 47 and reduce to an Expression of 2. R and I are heaviest at 9 each, and H at 8 is close behind. The five consonants add to 27 and give a Personality of 9, the highest number on the page. The four vowels A, E, I and E pass through the soul cipher as 1, 3, 6 and 3, totalling 13 for a Soul Urge of 4. The consonants carry twice the weight of the vowels here, which is unusual for a name with three E-class letters in it.
Frequently asked
Does Katherine give the same numbers?
No. K is worth 2 where C is 3, so the total and both derived numbers shift. The spellings are separate calculations.
Is Kate counted on its own?
Yes. Four letters against nine leaves very little of the original sum, so the short form has its own result entirely.
Why is the Personality number the highest here?
Because five of the nine letters are consonants and they include R at 9 and H at 8, the two heaviest in the spelling.
