Name and number analysis

Personal and company names, plus phone numbers, licence plates, bank accounts and ID numbers — all read through the Five Grids and Three Talents. Free, no sign-up.

How the Five Grids work

A name is split into surname · middle name · given name, the strokes of each part are counted, and the counts are combined into five grids. Each grid maps to a number and to one of the five elements.

GridTaken fromUsually read for
HeavenThe surnameFamily origin — not chosen by you
PersonalityJoins surname and given nameThe core of character and fortune in this system
EarthThe given nameEarly life
ExternalThe outer partsRelations with others, outside support
TotalThe whole nameThe overall picture, later life

The decisive step is the Three Talents — how the elements of the Heaven, Personality and Earth grids produce or control one another.

Six things you can analyse

All six share the same Five Grids core; only the interpretation context differs:

  • Personal name · Company or brand name
  • Phone number — split into leading, middle and trailing parts
  • Licence plate · Bank account · ID number

Read this before you trust a score

The Five Grids system was built on Chinese character stroke counts. Applied to a Latin-script name it is a reasonable analogy, not a measurement — so please do not change your name because of a number on a screen.

In the tradition a name is never judged alone. The order is: build the BaZi chart first, find the element that needs reinforcing, and only then choose a name whose element supports it. A “high-scoring” name that fights the useful god means nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Which grid matters most?
The Personality grid, sometimes called the fate grid. It sits between the surname and the given name and is treated as the core of character and fortune in this system.
Why are phone numbers read the same way as names?
Because the tool applies the same Five Grids and Three Talents core to the digit string, splitting it into three parts. Only the wording of the interpretation changes to fit the context.
My name scores badly. Should I change it?
Not on this basis alone. Name analysis is one slice, and a slice that transfers imperfectly to non-Chinese scripts. If you are naming a child or considering a change, start from the BaZi chart.
Is the result a prediction?
No. The arithmetic follows the classical Five Grids rules, but the reading is a cultural reference, not a forecast.
