Maxim: name numerology
Enter a name and a date of birth — the same engine that produced this page does the arithmetic.
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.
English spells the name with five letters where the Cyrillic version needs six, because X absorbs the K and S written separately there. The five total 24 for an Expression of 6, a Soul Urge of 7 and a Personality of 5.

Maxim, letter by letter
Each letter carries its value from this language’s table. They add to 24, which reduces to an Expression number of 6.

A cognomen and a common noun
Maxim comes from Latin maximus, the superlative of magnus, great. In Rome it served as a cognomen rather than a given name, and it became personal only through early Christian bishops and martyrs. English readers also know maxim as an ordinary noun for a short rule of conduct, borrowed from the same Latin family by another route; the two words are spelled alike, and this page is about the name.
What the X replaces
The five letters total 24, reducing to an Expression of 6. I is heaviest at 9 and X follows at 6; between them they hold nearly two thirds of the total. The consonants are M, X and M — 4, 6 and 4 for fourteen and a Personality of 5, with the repeated M counted both times it appears. Only A and I are vowels, and the soul cipher prices them at 1 and 6 rather than the 1 and 9 in the table above, so the Soul Urge is 7 with no reduction step at all. Two letters out of five decide that number.
Frequently asked
Is Max calculated separately?
Yes. Three letters instead of five, and it drops the I that carries the most weight in the full spelling, so every number changes.
Why is Maxim shorter than the Cyrillic spelling?
Latin X stands for the K and S pair that Cyrillic writes as two letters. Fewer letters means a different total, not a shorter name.
Does Maxime give the same numbers?
No. The French form adds a final E, which is a vowel, so it changes the total, the vowel sum and the reduction that follows.
