Name Compatibility
Check the match between any two names — instant percentage and readings.
What the numbers mean
In Pythagorean numerology every letter carries a value from 1 to 9, and a name reduces to one core number that describes its temperament: 1 the leader, 2 the harmoniser, 3 the communicator, 4 the builder, 5 the free spirit, 6 the nurturer, 7 the thinker, 8 the achiever, 9 the humanitarian. Compatibility measures how two temperaments meet — not how two people are fated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is name compatibility calculated?
Each name is converted to a Pythagorean number (1-9 or a master number). The two numbers are matched against a fixed compatibility matrix, adjusted for shared letters, giving a percentage and temperament readings.
Is name compatibility the same as marriage matching?
No. Name numerology describes temperament. Marriage matching in Vedic tradition uses Guna Milan — the 36-point Ashtakoota system based on birth details, available free in the Kundli matching tool.
Which names are compatible with each other?
Certain number pairs harmonise naturally — e.g. 1 with 3, 2 with 6, 5 with 3. The calculator applies the full 1-9 matrix, so any two names get a considered score.
Does name spelling matter in numerology?
Yes — numerology works from the letters as written. Different spellings of the same name can give different numbers, which is why the calculator uses exactly what you type.
