Your name in Hebrew

Type your name the way you usually write it — in any alphabet. You will see it in Hebrew letters, each letter with its name and number, and a word from the Five Books of Moses with the same number.

For a tattoo, pendant or engravingHebrew is written right to left, and five letters change shape at the end of a word. Show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew before it goes on skin or metal. The name is written by sound; one name often has more than one correct spelling.

Questions

Why are there several spellings?

Hebrew carries sounds, not the letters of your alphabet. “Natalie” and “Natalia” sound alike but are written differently, and both can be correct. We show the main one and list the others.

Is this a translation of the name?

No. A name is not translated; it is written in Hebrew letters by its sound — the way it would be written on an Israeli document.

Does the number say anything about me?

No. Every Hebrew letter is also a number, and the sum of the letters is arithmetic. We show it and a word with the same sum, but we draw no character or future from it.
