Numerologically, our name can be divided into three sections; our first, middle and last name, or surname. Our first name indicates how we handle physical matters, our middle name indicates how we approach emotional issues and our surname represents our spiritual mission and traditional heritage. This article was prompted by questions coming from those who are getting married and need to know if taking on the “other” family name is the best thing to do. Those who would like to know the effect of how they would be perceived by others if they changed their name can also use this.
First, it’s important to know that your family name is an experience and training that prepares you to approach life in a specific way that allows you to handle your “karma,” both good and bad. Changing your name will not alter that, but merely include the affect of another family name to compound with your own. So the question really becomes, “How will adding another family name to my vibration alter my karmic lessons?” So for those of you getting married and taking on another family name, you will simply add another dimension to your heritage or, if you choose not to do so, work with you mate’s family issues from a more “detached” perspective. The next question is, “What qualities will be taken on with a new name?” I will give the pros and cons of each number vibration, but first we must determine how to figure out that number vibration for the name to be taken on.
All the letters of the alphabet have a number vibration. Begin by numbering them 1-26 from A-Z; “A” being 1, “P” being 16 and “Z” being 26. Now take each letter and number and reduce them by adding the double digits together until you obtain a single number. “P” becomes a 7 and “Z” becomes an 8. For example the letter “S” is the 19th. Add 1+9=10 and add them again, 1+0=1. Hence the letter “S” is a “1” vibration. Next, if the name is Smith, add all the numbers together, that is 1+4+9+2+8=24. Then, add the double digits, 2+4=6. Therefore, the number vibration of Smith is “6.” Once you’ve determined the number vibration of the name, you can examine its meaning to see if you’d like to take on the affect as your own. Below is a list of some of the family assets and problems.
