The last time I posted rankings for Turkey, in 2022, the top girl name was Zeynep.
P.S. The Turkish letters G-with-a-breve, S-with-a-cedilla, dotted-I, and dotless-i don’t render properly on my site, so please imagine they exist in several of the above: the girl names Inci, Doga, Günes, and Ikra, and the boy names Göktug, Yigit, and Çinar.
If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 2, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 2-names.
Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “twos” in numerology?
Turning names into numbers
Here’s how to calculate the numerological value of a name.
First, for each letter, come up with a number to represent that letter’s position in the alphabet. (Letter A would be number 1, letter B would be number 2, and so forth.) Then, add all the numbers together. If the sum has two or more digits, add the digits together recursively until the result is a single digit. That single digit is the name’s numerological value.
For instance, the letters in the name Aurora correspond to the numbers 1, 21, 18, 15, 18, and 1. The sum of these numbers is 74. The digits of 74 added together equal 11, and the digits of 11 added together equal 2 — the numerological value of Aurora.
Baby names with a value of 2
Below you’ll find the most popular 2-names per gender, according to the latest U.S. baby name data. I’ve further sub-categorized them by total sums — just in case any of those larger numbers are significant to anyone.
2 via 11
The letters in the following baby names add up to 11, which reduces to two (1+1=2).
Girl names (2 via 11)
Boy names (2 via 11)
Adea, Fe, Aia
Aj, Ja, Cabe
2 via 20
The letters in the following baby names add up to 20, which reduces to two (2+0=2).
There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number two. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 2 being described as “diplomatic,” “cooperative,” “peaceful,” “gentle,” and “understanding.”
We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 2:
Hands
Feet
Eyes
Ears
Lungs
Chopsticks
Knitting needles
Complementary pairings (e.g., pen and paper, bow and arrow, peanut butter and jelly)
Dualities (e.g., day and night, yin and yang, war and peace)
Boxing (2 competitors; 2 fists)
Partner dancing
DNA double helix
What does the number 2 mean to you? What are your strongest associations with the number?
P.S. To see names with other numerological values, check out the posts for the numbers one, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine.
When I say “Narnia,” what do you think of? For many people, I think the answer is the Chronicles of Narnia series of fantasy novels by C. S. Lewis.
But you know what else Narnia is? It’s a baby name! It’s was a one-hit wonder in the U.S. baby name data in 2006:
2008: unlisted
2007: unlisted
2006: 6 baby girls named Narnia [debut]
2005: unlisted
2004: unlisted
Why did it pop up that particular year? Because the first book in the Narnia series — The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — was adapted into a film in 2005. (The next two books were also adapted into films, in 2008 and 2010, but neither was able to boost Narnia back into the data.)
Lewis borrowed the name from the Italian town of Narni — called Narnia in ancient times — which is located 50 miles north of Rome. Narnia’s name was derived from the name of the nearby River Nar (today called Nera).
And that’s not the only way in which the movie affected names. One of the main characters was Aslan (the talking lion), and, correspondingly, the name Aslan saw a spike in usage in 2006:
2008: 37 baby boys named Aslan
2007: 36 baby boys named Aslan
2006: 51 baby boys named Aslan
2005: 18 baby boys named Aslan
2004: 10 baby boys named Aslan
Do you like these names? Would you use either one?
