English Gematria is a form of gematria (גימטריה), a system of assigning numerical values to letters, which is applied to the English alphabet. The term "gematria" originates from the Greek word geōmetria (γεωμετρία), meaning "geometry," but in Hebrew it is used to refer to the practice of assigning numerical values to letters in the Hebrew alphabet. In English gematria, each letter of the English alphabet is assigned a numerical value, typically based on its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26). This practice is often used in religious, mystical, or esoteric contexts, similar to its Hebrew counterpart, to find hidden meanings or connections between words and numbers. The concept is also known as isopsephy in Greek and notarikon in Hebrew, where the latter refers to the practice of deriving meaning from the initials of words. English gematria is less standardized than its Hebrew counterpart due to the lack of a single authoritative system, leading to variations in the numerical values assigned to letters.
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.
