The term Diaspora originates from the Greek word diaspora (διασπορά), meaning "a scattering or dispersion." It originally referred to the dispersion of Jews from their homeland of Israel to other parts of the world, a process that began with the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE and continued through various historical events, including the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. In Hebrew, this concept is known as Tfutza (תפוצה). Over time, the term has broadened to describe any group that has been dispersed from its original homeland, whether through voluntary migration or forced displacement. Notable examples include the African diaspora, resulting from the transatlantic slave trade, and the Armenian diaspora, stemming from the Armenian Genocide and subsequent migrations. The diaspora often maintains cultural, religious, and social ties to their homeland, even as they integrate into new societies. This phenomenon has significant impacts on both the diaspora communities and the countries they settle in, influencing cultural exchange, political dynamics, and economic development.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
