The deeper reading

What Hugo really says

6

Name number · the whole name

The Protector

6 is the number of home and family. It stands for love, care and looking after each other. A name that adds up to 6 carries warm energy, like a light left on in the window when you come home late.

When your name adds up to 6

You are a very loyal friend. You remember birthdays, you bring snacks, and you help people even when they didn’t ask. You love being at home with the people you love, and your house is often the place where everyone ends up. Family is the most important thing to you, whether it is the family you were born into or one you made with friends. People can trust you with a secret. You see things in your own special way and can be a little awkward sometimes, which only makes people like you more. You feel happiest when someone says thank you.

Money energy is the first thing people meet. You come across as someone who is going places. You look strong, sure and ready for big things, like the boss even on your first day. You seem focused on your goals, and people can tell you will work hard to reach them. People take you seriously, especially when it comes to work and money, and they often notice your good taste too. This first impression helps you a lot, because people trust you with important jobs and big plans.

U3

First vowel · energy inside

Driven to connect

U is the 21st letter: 2 + 1 = 3. It’s the first vowel, so the 3 lives at the heart of your name.

Deep down, you need to talk and share. When something happens, good or bad, you want to tell someone about it. Talking things through helps you understand how you feel. You love to laugh and you love being with your people. A long chat with a good friend makes you feel better than almost anything. If you go too long without fun or company, you start to feel flat. Keep good friends close and keep making things, and you stay happy.

The Dealmaker

The method

How CUE reads a name

The four steps, from your letters to your number

  1. Your name number

    Every letter takes its place in the alphabet, from A = 1 to Z = 26, and is reduced to a single number. Add them up and reduce again. CUE keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, and a name that adds up to 20 is a hidden 11.

  2. Your first letter

    The first energy people meet, before they really know you: your first impression (some calculators call it the cornerstone). K and V are master letters, 11 and 22.

  3. Your first vowel

    The energy inside: what drives you. A first vowel can only be one of five numbers: A is 1, E is 5, I is 9, O is 6 and U is 3.

  4. Letter and vowel together

    How you come across meets what drives you. An L (3) with an A (1) is great at starting conversations and new projects, with ambition spread across many fields.

Name numerology questions

What is name numerology?

Name numerology turns the letters of a name into numbers and adds them up. Each letter takes its place in the alphabet, so A is 1 and Z is 26. CUE calls this Letterology, and it works for any name or word.

What is my name number?

Type your first name into the calculator above. Every letter turns into its number, the numbers add up, and the total reduces to one number from 1 to 9, or a master number: 11, 22 or 33. That is your name number.

How do I calculate my name number?

Give every letter its number (A = 1, B = 2 … Z = 26), reduce each one to a single digit, add them up and reduce the total again. CUE keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, so K stays 11 and V stays 22. Emma is 5 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 14, and 1 + 4 = 5.

Is my name number the same as an expression or destiny number?

Close. Other calculators call the total of a full name its expression or destiny number. CUE calls it your name number, keeps the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 whole, and counts a total of 20 as a hidden 11.

What are master numbers in a name?

Master numbers are 11, 22 and 33. CUE keeps them whole instead of reducing them further, because they carry more energy: 11 is the old soul, 22 the master builder and 33 the master teacher. A name that adds up to 20 is a hidden 11.

What does a master number name mean?

A name that adds up to 11 carries the old soul: big feelings, strong gut feelings and a sense of being here for something special. 22 is the master builder, turning big dreams into real things. 33, the rarest, is the master teacher, made to reach people.

5 more questions

Why does my name add up differently on other sites?

CUE’s Letterology follows the same A to Z order as the Pythagorean chart, but keeps K (11) and V (22) as master letters, keeps 11, 22 and 33 whole, and counts a name that adds up to 20 as a hidden 11. A calculator that reduces all of these to single digits can give the same name a different number.

Can I change my name number?

Your name number changes with the spelling. Emma adds up to 5 and Ema to 1; Jon adds up to 3 and John to 11. Nicknames carry their own numbers too. Try each version: in CUE you can save every name and compare them.

Is this the same as gematria?

Gematria is the practice of reading words as numbers. Letterology is CUE’s version for English: every letter of the alphabet has its number, and any word or name adds up to one. Switch to Any word, or open CUE’s gematria calculator, to decode a word or phrase.

Should I use my full name or my nickname?

Try both. The name you were given and the name you go by each carry their own number. In CUE you can save every name and compare them side by side.

Can two names have the same number?

Yes. Many names and words add up to the same number. CUE’s Letterology dictionary lists the words that share each number, so you can see what your name lines up with.
