Name compatibility in numerology reduces each of two names to a single root number from 1 to 9, looks up the planet that rules each root, and reads the pair against a friendship grid. This calculator does exactly that and returns one of four ratings. The letter values it uses are the Pythagorean ones, and the percentage bands attached to the four ratings are this app's own.
The percentage is this app's own: the bands 88 / 82 / 72 / 55 are cut-points no source supplies. The number-friendship grid behind this verdict has no located source - not classical, not Cheiro. It is not the planetary friendship of BPHS ch. 3 either: the two tables disagree. It is common modern practice, shown with that stated. Numerology and Vedic astrology are separate systems. Nothing on this page is computed from your chart, and no number here is averaged with a chart result.
Every name carries a Name Number (Namank). This calculator gives each letter its Pythagorean value from the cyclic table A=1 through I=9, then J=1 through R=9, then S=1 through Z=8, adds those values across the name, and reduces the total to a single digit from 1 to 9. That digit is the name's root, and it is what the comparison is made on. The separate Name Number tool shows the Chaldean figure as well; this page compares the Pythagorean roots.
Each Name Number is ruled by a planet, and the friendship between the two ruling planets decides the match. When both names reduce to numbers ruled by naturally friendly planets, the pairing blends easily; numbers ruled by opposing planets suggest friction that needs conscious effort.
The rating is not a sliding scale. Four cases are distinguished and each has one fixed value: the two roots are the same, each root lists the other as friendly, only one lists the other, or neither does.
The friendship grid the lookup uses is the one shared across every numerology surface on this site, so a verdict here cannot drift from a verdict on the name-correction or baby-name pages. What it is not is sourced, which the next section sets out.
The number on the ring comes from four fixed bands: 88 when the two roots are identical, 82 when each root lists the other as friendly, 72 when only one lists the other, and 55 when neither does. Those four cut-points are this app's own. No source supplies them, and the app states that on the widget itself rather than letting a percentage imply a precision it does not have.
The friendship grid underneath them has no located source either; it is modern Ank Jyotish practice. It is also deliberately asymmetric and is not repaired into symmetry: the root 8 lists 3, 5 and 6 as friendly, while 3 lists 1, 3, 5, 6 and 9 and does not list 8 back. That one-way case is exactly why 72 exists as a separate band instead of being flattened into 82 or 55.
Any two names - a couple, business partners, or family members. The tool simply measures how the numerology of the two names harmonises.
Use the name each person actually goes by, since that is the vibration in daily use. You can also try full legal names to compare the results.
No. This is a numerology name-number comparison only; it does not use birth charts. For horoscope matching by Guna Milan, use a dedicated kundli matching tool.
The Pythagorean one: A=1 through I=9, then J=1 through R=9, then S=1 through Z=8, counting only the letters A to Z. The separate Name Number tool reports the Chaldean value alongside the Pythagorean one, but this compatibility page compares the two Pythagorean roots.
88 means the two names reduce to the same root, 82 that each root counts the other as friendly, 72 that the friendship runs only one way, and 55 that neither lists the other. They are four fixed bands rather than a continuous measurement, which is why two quite different pairs of names very often return exactly the same figure.
