Here's how to calculate the meaning of your english name according to Numerology....
I ran across this exercise in the book Write Your Own Magic by Richard Webster. I can’t recall who the original author of this English Numerical system IS.
I’m recreating the following Table and Examples from my own notebooks.
This system was adapted from older written languages to work with the English alphabet. The process works like other Basic Numerology — individual letters and characters in a word are expressed as a number; the numbers are added together, then reduced to single digits 1 - 9.
There are two exceptions: you do NOT reduce double digits — 11 and 22.
In Numerology, 11 and 22 are considered to be Master Numbers.
Numerical English Alphabet Table
Soul Urge and Expression - Two Levels of Meaning
Vowels : reveal the soul urge of a name
Consonants + Vowels : reveal the expression of a name
You calculate the Vowels and Consonants separately. The reduced number corresponding to the total of the Vowels –alone– is the soul urge; the soul urge added to the consonant reduction gives the full expression of the name.
Easier to grasp with examples:
Here’s the system applied to my name 'MANJUNATH'.
1 3 1 = 5
M A N J U N A T H
4 5 1 5 2 8 = 25
Total = 30
So thats 5 SOUL and 3 EXPRESSION ( 3+0=3)
Using the Table above, write the corresponding number for each vowel in your name on a line above the letters. Now, write the number for each consonant on a line below the letters.
Add the vowel numbers together in top line:
example: 1 + 3 + 1 (the vowels in my name A, U and A) = 5
Add the consonant numbers together in the bottom line:
example: 4 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 8 = (the M, N, J, N, T and H in my name) = 25
The Soul Urge of my name is the one digit vowel total — 5
To get the Expression of my name, I have to add the vowels and the consonants together, and reduce to one digit.
In this case, 5 (vowels) + 25 (consonants) = 30.
Reduce the 30 (3+0=3).
So, my name’s Expression — 3
Meanings of The Numbers
1 — independence/attainment
2 — tact, diplomacy, intuition
3 — creative self-expression, joys of life
4 — limitations/restrictions, system, order
5 — freedom/variety
6 — service to others, responsibility
7 — introspection, analysis, spirituality
8 — material freedom, power
9 — humanitarian, concern for others
11 - illumination and inspiration
22 - master builder, unlimited potential
According to this system and these interpretations, my name Manjunath, has a soul urge of 5 - freedom/variety; the expression of my name is 3 - creative self-expression, joys of life.
I thought the name meanings were very basic, but I spent hours one afternoon few days back calculating the soul urge and expression of the names of everyone and everything of significance in my life — I was actually surprised by how accurate, even if simplistic, the meanings were.
*Note: I calculated variations, such as my full name, by treating all three names as one. I also applied other meanings I already associate with the numbers, and with various meanings I found in online research — to add some nuance, or depth to the meaning layers.

Shivani, here's how you calculate your SOUL and your EXPRESSION..
SOUL is 9+1=10, which in turn means 1+0= 1
So the SOUL urge of your name is 1 and it means you have Independence and attainment in your name.
Coming to EXPRESSION,
Consonants is 1+8+4+5= 18
Add 1 from SOUL to this figure to get, 1(vowel)+18(consonants) = 19
Reduce 19 to (1 + 9) = 10
and now reducing 10 gives you 1+0 = 1
So your EXPRESSION is also 1 and also means you have Independence and attainment in your name.
WOW!!!! That’s fabulous!!!
Shivani, by SOUL & as well as EXPRESSION you are independent and have huge attainment/accomplishments in LIFE.
That calls for a big celebration...

A few years back I was introduced to a numerology site. In fact the site offers complete life story for a fee. But in general introduction what access they give you was really wonderful. Though I usually do not believe in such things, I got fascinated by their compatibilty chart. The single digit number you get from your date of birth is similar to that you explained here. Compatibility factors are given with combination of your birth number with that of others. It was very close to truth regarding me and my other family members. Unfortunately I cannot recall the link. But then I think one can get it from google search using 'numerology' as catchword.

Soul = 8
Expression = 21 = 2 + 1 = 3
Soul + Expression = 8 + 3 = 11 (!)
My birth no. also is special according that science. In that 20 and 11 which they mention as 20/2 and 11/2 are special and mine is 20/2 (!)....want any celebration? Come to India.
