The number of your name

פרנק (פרנק) — Franck is a personal name of Latin origin: it comes from the word Franciscus, which means “Frank, Frenchman”.
And the same number belongs to the Torah word נפש — “soul, living being”.

Your word in the Torah

The word נפש — “soul, living being” — has the same number as your name. Here is the verse where it first appears:

ויאמר אלהים ישרצו המים שרץ נפש חיה ועוף יעופף על הארץ על פני רקיע השמים
Genesis 1:20

The verse of your name

Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with פ and ends with ק. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

The week you were born

Add your date of birth and we will show which portion the world was reading the week you appeared, and whether it holds a word of your number.

How to read your number

Fact. The letters of the name פרנק add up to 430. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. There is a Torah word with the same number — נפש (“soul, living being”). A matching sum does not mean the word is 'about you'; it is a reason to look at what in it matters to you.

A question for yourself. What in this do you recognise in yourself — and what would you like to strengthen?

Practice. This week: open the verse of your name, read it slowly three times and write down one thought that stays with you.

Spelling attested: this is how the name is recorded in the open Wikidata name base.

In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרנק. Franck is a personal name of Latin origin: it comes from the word Franciscus, which means “Frank, Frenchman”. Today this name is common in France. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 430 — the same as the Torah word נפש, “soul, living being”. That number points to Torah page 76 of 354 — in the portion Miketz. What that portion is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
Adding up the letters of the name פרנק gives 430.
430
The number 430 is the Torah word נפש — «soul, living being» (Genesis 1:20).

✓ Verify

This number is shared with 2 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.

Four hundred and thirty years of dwelling in Egypt (Exodus 12:40); nefesh, “soul”, is 430.
The number 430, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 76 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis).
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 42:32:
שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂר אֲנַחְנוּ אַחִים בְּנֵי אָבִינוּ הָאֶחָד אֵינֶנּוּ וְהַקָּטֹן הַיּוֹם אֶת־אָבִינוּ בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן
We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
This is from the portion Miketz. What it is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 430. A Torah word with the same number is נפש — “soul, living being” (Genesis 1:20).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 70. A Torah word with the same number is כן — “so, thus” (Genesis 1:7).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1990.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 58900.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1120.
The letters that come out are וגטד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 883.
The number 430 appears in the classical books 26 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).
The name פרנק does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with פ and ends with ק. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

How it is counted

Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
