Gematria Calculator

Gematria is the practice of assigning numerical values to letters and summing them to a single number. It originated in Hebrew tradition and has been extended over the centuries to many alphabets — Greek (where it is called isopsephy), English, and others — each with multiple cipher systems.

There is no single "meaning" of a gematria number. The number is simply the sum of letter values under a chosen cipher. Different traditions read different things into matching values, but mathematically a match only tells you that two phrases have the same letter-value sum.

English ciphers (like Ordinal A=1…Z=26) are modern systems built on the Latin alphabet. Standard Hebrew gematria assigns 1–9 to the first nine letters, 10–90 to the next nine, and 100–400 to the last four. Greek isopsephy works similarly with 1–9, 10–90, and 100–800 plus the obsolete numeral letters digamma (6), koppa (90), and sampi (900).

Four English ciphers — Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction (Pythagorean), and Sumerian (Ordinal × 6) — plus standard Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy. Type letters from any of those alphabets and the relevant ciphers appear in the results.

No. Only letters in the cipher's alphabet contribute to the total. Spaces, digits, and punctuation are ignored, and English case does not matter. The letter-by-letter table shows exactly which characters were counted for the cipher you select.

Mathematically, their letter values add up to the same number under that cipher. Several Jewish and esoteric traditions read connections into such matches, but a numerical equality is not, on its own, evidence of any deeper relationship. We give you the math; interpretation depends on your tradition and context.

Yes. Paste Hebrew letters (א–ת) or Greek letters (α–ω plus the obsolete numeral letters) and we compute the standard Hebrew gematria or Greek isopsephy total. Mixed input — for example, an English word alongside its Hebrew form — works too, with each cipher applied to its own alphabet.

To calculate the gematria of your name, type your full name into the input field at the top of this page. The calculator will automatically show the numeric totals under different ciphers, and the letter-by-letter table will display how the values of each character in your name sum up.

English gematria refers to modern cipher systems applied to the Latin alphabet, whereas Jewish (Hebrew) gematria is the traditional system mapping traditional numeric values to the Hebrew alphabet. Hebrew gematria has a two-thousand-year history in Jewish exegesis, while English ciphers like Ordinal or Sumerian were created more recently.

The Sumerian cipher multiplies the standard English Ordinal value by 6, a modern cipher named in reference to the Sumerians' base-60 (sexagesimal) counting system. Under this system, A becomes 6, B becomes 12, and Z becomes 156, scaling all values by a factor of six.

Yes, gematria is implicitly found in the Bible because both Hebrew and Greek letters historically doubled as numerals, making every word naturally possess a numerical value. Additionally, specific passages like the 'number of the beast' (666) in Revelation 13:18 rely directly on Greek isopsephy (Greek gematria) to code names or phrases. For more details on these alphabets, see the Hebrew gematria and Greek gematria calculators on this site.

No, matching gematria values do not prove a hidden connection because numerical coincidences are extremely common due to probability. While various mystical and esoteric traditions seek meaningful patterns in matching sums, a mathematical equality alone is not evidence of a conceptual relationship.
