| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 70 |

| Chaldean | 28 |
Eleanor carries an ordinal value of 70, reducing to Seven, a number tied to reflection and inquiry. Its reverse ordinal of 119 sits well above its forward ordinal of 70, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 28, which reduces to One and so reads differently from the standard total.
Eleanor is a medieval name made famous by Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of France and then of England in the 12th century. Its origin is debated: one theory is that it began as the Provençal Alienor, "the other Aenor," a daughter named after her mother, and another that it is a form of Helen.
In history. Eleanor of Aquitaine (about 1122–1204) was queen consort of France and then of England, and the mother of two English kings, Richard the Lionheart and John. Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) and the title character of the 1966 Beatles song Eleanor Rigby are among its later well-known uses.
How Eleanor adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Eleanor is spelled E-L-E-A-N-O-R, which gives 5 + 12 + 5 + 1 + 14 + 15 + 18 = 70. Reducing the total to a single digit (7+0=7) gives 7.
