| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 79 |

Xavier carries an ordinal value of 79, reducing to Seven, a number tied to reflection and inquiry. Its forward and reverse ordinal values sit close together at 79 and 83, because its letters are spread fairly evenly across the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 20, which reduces to Two and so reads differently from the standard total.
Xavier comes from the Basque etxaberri, "new house," through the place name Javier in Navarre, Spain. It became a given name because of Saint Francis Xavier, the 16th-century Jesuit missionary who was born at the castle there.
In history. Saint Francis Xavier (1506–1552) was a co-founder of the Jesuits and a missionary in India, Southeast Asia and Japan; his feast day is 3 December. In English the name is said "ZAY-vee-er" or "ZAV-ee-er."
How Xavier adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Xavier is spelled X-A-V-I-E-R, which gives 24 + 1 + 22 + 9 + 5 + 18 = 79. Reducing the total to a single digit (7+9=16, then 1+6=7) gives 7.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| X | 24 |
| A | 1 |
| V | 22 |
| I | 9 |
