Name numerology
Letters of the name Klavdiya («Клавдия») in the Russian 1–9 table: К 3 + Л 4 + А 1 + В 3 + Д 5 + И 1 + Я 6 = 23 → 5. The sum is reduced to one digit; the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept.
Name number 5 — freedom and change. Five is the number of movement: curiosity, courage, a taste for the new and for travel. Boredom is worse than hardship for this name; the weak spot is inconstancy.
Vowels give the soul number 8 (power and achievement), consonants the personality number 6 (care and harmony). Inner motive: power and achievement; outer manner: care and harmony. Such a gap is not bad in itself: others see one side, close people know the other.
In Slavic Cyrillic numerals (using the modern spelling of the name): К=20 + Л=30 + А=1 + В=2 + Д=4 + И=8 = 65, reduced to 2. Letters that had no numeric value are skipped. This is an additional digit, not a second name number: meanings for the Cyrillic numerals were added in the 20th century, modeled on Western numerology.
