| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 78 |

Robert carries an ordinal value of 78, reducing to Six, a number tied to care and responsibility. Its forward and reverse ordinal values sit close together at 78 and 84, because its letters are spread fairly evenly across the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 22, which reduces to Four and so reads differently from the standard total.
Robert is from the Germanic hrod, "fame," and beraht, "bright," so "bright fame." It reached England with the Normans and was borne by many kings, among them Robert the Bruce, king of Scots.
In history. Robert the Bruce (1274–1329) led Scotland's wars of independence and was king from 1306, and Robert Burns (1759–1796) is Scotland's national poet, whose birthday on 25 January is celebrated worldwide as Burns Night.
How Robert adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Robert is spelled R-O-B-E-R-T, which gives 18 + 15 + 2 + 5 + 18 + 20 = 78. Reducing the total to a single digit (7+8=15, then 1+5=6) gives 6.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| R | 18 |
| O | 15 |
| B | 2 |
| E | 5 |
| R | 18 |
| T | 20 |
