According to the ancient science of numerology, a new name could bring more success and happiness.

According to numerology, which is said to date back thousands of years, knowing the number value of the letters in your name can help you to better understand your path in life.

Each letter of the alphabet correlates with a number from one to nine.

When you add these up and then keep adding until they become a single digit, this number can help you to understand your traits and personality.

Unlike astrological signs, which are fixed according to your birth, it is possible to shift your destiny in numerology so your name adds up to a different digit.

That should be the reason why most of writers and artists change their name…

But I am skeptical because these numerology system comes from Hebrew and semitic alphabet in which letters are also numbers, but if your name is in Latin you could have letters which don't exist in the original table.
