Two names that ended up spelled alike
One Ella is Norman, from a Germanic element meaning other or foreign, and appears in English records from the twelfth century. The other is a nineteenth-century clipping of Eleanor, Ellen and Isabella, all of which end in the same syllable. Nothing in the spelling distinguishes them. Ella Fitzgerald carried the second kind, and the name now sits in the American top thirty after a century in which it nearly disappeared.
A doubled letter that costs almost nothing
E is 5, L is 3 twice and A is 1. The two L letters together are 6, which is half the total of twelve, and twelve folds to 3. Because L is the only consonant here, doubled, the Personality is that same 6 — the one figure on this page that needs no folding and comes from a single repeated letter. On the vowel side E drops from 5 in the table to 3 in the soul cipher, and with A at 1 the Soul Urge is 4.
Does the second L really add its full value?
It does. Every letter written is counted at its own value, so a doubled letter contributes twice whether or not it is pronounced twice.
Is Ela with one L the same name?
Not for the calculation. Dropping an L takes three off the total and three off the consonant column, moving two of the three figures.
How does Eleanor compare?
Eleanor is seven letters including an R worth nine, so its total is more than double this one and none of the figures matches.
