Name correction: what it is and what it is not
Name correction means adjusting the spelling of the name you use, for example adding or doubling a letter, so that its number harmonises with your Mulank and Bhagyank. It is widely practised in India, especially for business names and public careers.
Keep it in perspective. Numerology describes tendencies, and no spelling change can guarantee results. Never change a legal name on official documents only for numerology; many people simply use an adjusted spelling socially or professionally. If you are considering it, have your full chart read first.
Questions about Namank
How is Namank calculated?
Each letter of your name gets a Chaldean value from 1 to 8. Add the values of all the letters and reduce the total to one digit. For example, ARJUN is 1 + 2 + 1 + 6 + 5 = 15, and 1 + 5 = 6.
What is the difference between Namank and Mulank?
Mulank comes from your birth day and never changes. Namank comes from the letters of your name and describes how the world responds to you, and it changes if your name or its spelling changes.
Does changing my name change my luck?
Numerology treats a name as one influence among many. A well-matched name is considered supportive, but no spelling change can guarantee results, and your Mulank, Bhagyank and chart stay the same.
How do I find the Namank of a Hindi name?
Write the name in English letters the way it appears on your documents or the way you sign it, for example प्रिया as PRIYA. The spelling you actually use is what counts.
Why Chaldean and not Pythagorean?
Indian numerology traditionally uses the Chaldean system, which assigns values by the sound of each letter; the Pythagorean system simply numbers A to I as 1 to 9. The two give different results, which is why Astroly states its method.
