Zakhar: name numerology
Zakhar puts 27 of its 29 points into consonants — the two A letters are worth one apiece and nothing else in the spelling is a vowel. That leaves an Expression of 2, a Soul Urge of 2 and a Personality of 9.

Zakhar, letter by letter
Each letter carries its value from this language’s table. They add to 29, which reduces to an Expression number of 2.

| h | 8 |
| a | 1 |
| r | 9 |
| Total | 29 |
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.
Zechariah, Zachary and the later arrival
English had this name long before it met the Slavic spelling. Zechariah, from Hebrew Zekharyah, came through Greek and Latin into the English Bible, and Zachary grew out of it as the everyday form. Zakhar arrived separately and much later, transliterated from Russian, so three relatives now sit side by side in English at nine, seven and six letters, sharing nothing past the opening Z. Each is worked out from the letters it actually has.
A name that is nearly all consonant
The six letters score Z 8, A 1, K 2, H 8, A 1, R 9, adding to 29 for an Expression of 2. The four consonants come to 27 — three nines exactly — so the Personality is 9 with nothing left over, and that side alone carries more than nine tenths of the spelling. R is heaviest at 9, Z and H follow at 8, and the K between them is the only light consonant. Both A letters sit in the first cell of the main table and of the vowel cipher, so the Soul Urge is simply 2.

Is Zachary the same name as Zakhar?
They share an origin and nothing else. Zachary is seven letters that came through Greek and Latin; Zakhar is six letters transliterated from Cyrillic, and the sums are unrelated.
Why does one Cyrillic letter become KH?
Russian х has no single Latin equivalent, so transliteration spends two characters on it. Both are scored, which is why the English spelling runs longer and heavier than the Cyrillic one.
Does the Cyrillic Захар give the same numbers?
Against the Russian table it does, by coincidence: five letters total 20 rather than 29, yet both reduce to 2, and the consonant sums 18 and 27 both reduce to 9. Ukrainian does not follow.
