Mia, letter by letter
Each letter carries its value from this language’s table. They add to 14, which reduces to an Expression number of 5.
| Letter | Value |
|---|---|
| m | 4 |
| i | 9 |
| a | 1 |
| Total | 14 |
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.
A short form that stopped being one
Mia is Maria cut to its last syllable, a Scandinavian and Dutch habit that German and then English adopted. It coincides with the Italian and Spanish word for mine, which has helped it travel, and it is not related to the Hebrew Miriam behind Maria except through that parent name. Registrars now treat it as a name in its own right, and it sits sixth in the United States and around twentieth in England and Wales.
What three letters leave to work with
M is 4, I is 9 and A is 1. That is fourteen, and it folds to 5. With only one consonant there is nothing to add and nothing to reduce, so the Personality is simply M at 4. The vowel side is more interesting than the length suggests: I is worth 9 in the table above but 6 in the soul cipher, and with A at 1 the Soul Urge is 7. A three-letter name is the smallest case where the two tables can visibly disagree, and this is that case.

Does Maria give the same result?
It does not. Maria has five letters including a second A and an R worth nine, so the total more than doubles and every figure changes.
Why is the Soul Urge bigger than the Personality?
Because two of the three letters are vowels and one of them is I, the heaviest vowel in the table. The single consonant has nothing to add to.
Is Mya counted the same way?
No. Y is 7 in the table and 5 in the soul cipher, and it counts as a vowel for the soul figure, so Mya lands somewhere else entirely.
