Your name

Gladys

Tap the letters of your name and add up its number yourself

The number of your name

Gladys (גלדיס) — From Welsh Gwladus; the origin is not certain, most often linked with gwlad, “country”.
And the same number belongs to the Torah word גלעד — “Gilead, region east of Jordan”.

Your word in the Torah

The word גלעד — “Gilead, region east of Jordan” — has the same number as your name. Here is the verse where it first appears:

ויברח הוא וכל אשר לו ויקם ויעבר את הנהר וישם את פניו הר הגלעד

Genesis 31:21

The verse of your name

Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ג and ends with ס. 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 rare this number is

You are not alone in this number

The same number belongs to these names:

Abdeel Alevtina Anano Audelino Beka Bilyana Eliso Etelvina Gilad Imon

How to read your number

Fact. The letters of the name גלדיס add up to 107. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. There is a Torah word with the same number — גלעד (“Gilead, region east of Jordan”). 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.

גלדיס

In short

Your name in Hebrew letters is גלדיס. From Welsh Gwladus; the origin is not certain, most often linked with gwlad, “country”. It spread through English-speaking lands around 1900. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 107 — the same as the Torah word גלעד, “Gilead, region east of Jordan”. That number points to Torah page 107 of 354 — in the portion Vaera. What that portion is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

You wrote “Gladys” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: גלדיס. Spelled by the Academy of the Hebrew Language rules for foreign names. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

Adding up the letters of the name גלדיס gives 107.

107

The number 107 is the Torah word גלעד — «Gilead, region east of Jordan» (Genesis 31:21).

✓ Verify

This number is shared with 9 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.

The number 107, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 107 in the book of Shmot (Exodus).

The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 9:30:

וְאַתָּה וַעֲבָדֶיךָ יָדַעְתִּי כִּי טֶרֶם תִּירְאוּן מִפְּנֵי ה׳ אֱלֹהִים

But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear HaShem G-d.'--

This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.

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) — 107. A Torah word with the same number is גלעד — “Gilead, region east of Jordan” (Genesis 31:21).

Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).

Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 44. A Torah word with the same number is ילד — “to bear, give birth” (Genesis 3:16).

Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 431. A Torah word with the same number is עציוןגבר — “Ezion-geber” (Numbers 33:35).

Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 4625.

Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 227. A Torah word with the same number is זכר — “male” (Genesis 1:27).

The letters that come out are רכקמח — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 368. A Torah word with the same number is חמישי — “fifth” (Genesis 1:23).

Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 731. A Torah word with the same number is לשאת — “to bear, support” (Genesis 36:7).

The number 107 appears in the classical books 10 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name גלדיס 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 ג and ends with ס. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

Your name's day

The name גלדיס has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 107 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.

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.
