The breakdown above uses this language’s letter table. The Soul Urge is built from a separate vowel cipher, so adding up the values in this list will not reproduce it.
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.

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.
