Roman: name numerology
Roman is spelled with five letters that each have an exact Cyrillic counterpart, and the three alphabets still disagree about every one of them. In English the total is 25, so the Expression is 7, with the vowels giving 5 and the consonants 9.

Roman, letter by letter
Each letter carries its value from this language’s table. They add to 25, which reduces to an Expression number of 7.
| Letter | Value |
|---|---|
| r | 9 |
| o | 6 |
| m | 4 |
| a | 1 |
| n | 5 |
| Total | 25 |
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 word before it was a name
Roman is Latin Romanus, meaning of Rome, an adjective that became a personal name in late antiquity. English still uses the word in its ordinary sense — Roman numerals, Roman roads — which puts this page in unusual company: most names stopped meaning anything in the language that carries them a long time ago. The name travelled east as well, and the Cyrillic Роман is written with exact counterparts to these five letters.
The same five letters, three results
R is worth 9 in the Pythagorean table and carries more than a third of the total by itself. With M at 4 and N at 5 the consonants come to 18 and a Personality of 9 — the same digit R started with, which is arithmetic rather than a pattern. The vowels O and A are read from the soul cipher, where O is 4 rather than 6, so the Soul Urge is 5. Add everything and the total is 25, giving an Expression of 7. The Cyrillic spelling holds the same five sounds in the same order, and each of the other two tables still lands it somewhere else entirely.

Is the word Roman related to the name?
They are the same Latin word, Romanus. English uses one as an adjective and one as a given name, and the calculation does not distinguish between them.
Does Roman match Роман in the other tables?
No. The letters correspond one for one, but the Russian and Ukrainian tables assign them different values, so all three numbers land elsewhere.
Is Romain or Romano counted the same?
Neither. Both are longer spellings with letters Roman does not have, and every added letter changes the total and the numbers built from it.
