Finn
Name — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 43 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 65 |
| Reduction | 25 |
| Pythagorean | 25 |
| Chaldean | 19 |
Finn carries an ordinal value of 43, reducing to Seven, a number tied to reflection and inquiry. Its reverse ordinal of 65 sits well above its forward ordinal of 43, 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.
Finn is the Irish Fionn, "fair" or "white," the name of Fionn mac Cumhaill, the hero-leader of the Fianna in the Fenian Cycle. It is also an old Germanic name in its own right, which is why it is used in Scandinavia as well as Ireland.
Saying it. The Irish Fionn is pronounced roughly "FYUN." One of the best-known tales about him is the Salmon of Knowledge, a fish said to give wisdom to the first person to taste it, which Fionn gained by burning his thumb as he cooked it.
How Finn adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Finn is spelled F-I-N-N, which gives 6 + 9 + 14 + 14 = 43. Reducing the total to a single digit (4+3=7) gives 7.
