Celtic
Word — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 52 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 110 |
| Reduction | 25 |
| Pythagorean | 25 |
| Chaldean | 19 |
Celtic carries an ordinal value of 52, reducing to Seven, a number tied to reflection and inquiry. Its reverse ordinal of 110 sits well above its forward ordinal of 52, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 19, which reduces to One and so reads differently from the standard total.
"Celtic" comes from the Greek Keltoi, the name ancient Greek writers used for peoples living north of the Mediterranean. It is now used mainly for the Celtic languages, such as Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Breton, and for the art and traditions linked to them, though how far the ancient peoples saw themselves as one group is debated.
How Celtic adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Celtic is spelled C-E-L-T-I-C, which gives 3 + 5 + 12 + 20 + 9 + 3 = 52. Reducing the total to a single digit (5+2=7) gives 7.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| C | 3 |
| E | 5 |
| L | 12 |
| T | 20 |
| I | 9 |
| C | 3 |
| Total | 52 |
