Phoenician Numerology
From the harbours of Tyre and Sidon, the Phoenicians carried an alphabet that became the parent of nearly every Western script. Render your name in these ancestral letters and meet the god of the sea-faring pantheon who rules its root.
“The Phoenicians invented letters; the world learned to write. — after Pliny the Elder.”

How the Phoenician calculator reads a name
The calculator works from one input: a name. It strips accents, ignores spaces and hyphens, and drops digits and anything outside A to Z. Your birth date plays no part, even when you pick a saved profile. Each Latin letter is matched to one of the 22 letters of the Phoenician abjad and given a value on a units, tens and hundreds scale. The Phoenicians wrote numbers with separate signs, so that scale is borrowed back from later Hebrew and Greek letter-numbering.
The matching is by sound and only approximate. A is Aleph (1), B Bet (2), G Gimel (3), D Dalet (4), E He (5). U, V and W become Waw (6), Z is Zayin (7), H is Het (8). I, J and Y share Yodh (10), C and K share Kaph (20), then L Lamed (30), M Mem (40), N Nun (50), S Samekh (60), O Ayin (70). F and P are Pe (80), X Sade (90), Q Qoph (100), R Resh (200), T Taw (400). Tet (9) and Shin (300) are never reached from Latin input.
The page shows three results. The Phoenician Value is the plain sum, with a reduced figure beneath it, made by adding digits until one remains. The ruling deity panel pairs that digit with a Canaanite or Phoenician deity, a celestial body and a short reading. This pairing is a modern invention, and for 8 and 9 the body slot holds a quality, Power or Completion, rather than a planet. Last comes a letter breakdown of glyph, name and value.
Take Maria Silva. Maria is Mem 40, Aleph 1, Resh 200, Yodh 10 and Aleph 1, making 252. Silva is Samekh 60, Yodh 10, Lamed 30, Waw 6 and Aleph 1, making 107. The total is 359. Adding 3, 5 and 9 gives 17, then 8, so the panel shows Baal, with Power in the body slot. A birth date such as 14 March 1990 would change nothing, because the page never asks for one.
Read the breakdown first. Here a single R supplies more than half the total, which happens often, since R and T sit in the hundreds. Try the forms of your name: Maria alone gives 252 and reduces to 9, Eshmun. When a spelling shifts the result, you are watching the conversion work, not uncovering something in the name. Treat the deity text as a prompt and notice which lines feel apt, which do not, and why.
The calculator can show how one modern convention turns a name into a sum and a symbol, but it cannot tell you anything about your character, circumstances or future.
This result is the numerology tradition's symbolic interpretation — an invitation to reflect, not a scientific prediction or a fact about you.
