Baby Name Numerology API: Names Whose Number Suits the Child
Updated
How the baby name numerology API works
- 1Send the child's birth date, and add a surname, a gender and starting letters or syllables if you like.
- 2The API finds the numbers that suit the child, then counts each name with the surname in Chaldean.
- 3Names come back in groups, one per number, A to Z, each with its meaning and Hindi spelling.

}How the sample baby name search works
This is the real answer for a boy born March 22, 1992, with the surname Doe and names starting with J. Names are counted in Chaldean letter values, with the surname.
| Step | How it adds up | Result |
|---|---|---|
| The child's numbers | Day 22: 2 + 2 = 4. Date: 2 + 2 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 28, then 10, then 1. | Mulank 4, bhagyank 1 |
| Numbers that suit him | The numbers that fit both 4 and 1 by the usual rule | 3 (Jupiter) and 5 (Mercury) |
| Jahaan Doe | Jahaan 14 + Doe 16 = 30, then 3 + 0 = 3 | In the group for 3 |
| Jaideep Doe | Jaideep 25 + Doe 16 = 41, then 4 + 1 = 5 | In the group for 5 |
Every answer ends with the same caution in its not_claimed field: “Numbers describe tendencies, not fixed events. Use them as a guide, not a rule.”

}What the baby name numerology API returns
groups: one per number that suits the child, each with its planet, its fit and itsfoundcount.- Each name with its full name, Hindi spelling, meaning, gender, origin and first syllable.
- The number of the full name, and of the first name alone in
first_name_number. - A modern name with no known meaning still comes back, marked
meaning_known: false. per_syllableandsyllables_without_names, which show the starting sounds that have no name in the list yet.list: how many names the list holds and how many are kept out for a sensitive meaning.
Names are never ranked. Each group runs A to Z, and the limit caps each group without hiding its full count. Meanings come in English or Hindi.

The rules behind the baby name numerology API
A name's number is the Chaldean name number, the same one the name checker uses. With a surname, the full name is counted, since that is the name the child will carry. A number suits the child when it fits the child's mulank and bhagyank, by the usual rule. Names with a sensitive meaning are never suggested.
The Chaldean letter values, with no letter worth 9, follow the table in Cheiro's Book of Numbers (1926). The mulank (birth day number) is the day of birth, added down to one digit. The 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th all give 1, as in Cheiro's Book of Numbers (1926).

Baby name numerology API questions
All questionsCan I find names by birth star?
Yes. Send up to 8 first syllables in Hindi letters, such as चू or ला, in the syllables field. Each name says whether it matched a syllable exactly or closely, such as with a longer or shorter vowel. The Astrology API gives the syllable for a birth, with the same key.
Find the birth syllableCan I filter by English letters instead?
Yes. Send up to 5 starting letters in the letters field, such as J or Sh. Each can be 1 to 3 letters long. Use them for names chosen without a birth star.
Does the surname change the result?
Yes. With a surname in English letters, each name is counted with it, as the child will carry it. The first name's own number comes back beside it in first_name_number.
Can I filter by gender or origin?
Yes. The gender field takes any, boy or girl, and boy or girl also include names used for both. The origin field is indian by default, or all for every name in the list.
How are the names sorted?
In groups, one per number that suits the child, and A to Z inside each group. They are never ranked. Each group's found field gives its full count. So a limit, from 1 to 200 names per group, never hides how many exist.
Where do the names and meanings come from?
From the API's own list of more than 13,000 names, with a Hindi spelling and, where known, a meaning. Names with a sensitive meaning are never suggested.
What does a baby name call cost, and can I test one?
2 reading credits per live call. A test key answers for the sample birth dates, with the surname Doe and the starting letter J. It takes no syllables.
