Ruth

Ruth reduces to the master number 22, sometimes tied by numerology writers to her story's emphasis on quietly building a new life and lineage in a foreign land. The name's meaning is debated among scholars, with "friend" or "companion" the most commonly cited reading — fitting, if accurate, for a story built almost entirely around loyalty to her mother-in-law rather than to blood family. It's a short name with a comparatively high ordinal value of 67 for its length, a value it shares exactly with the word Soul elsewhere in this dictionary.
