Baby Name: Broderick

If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 4, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 4-names.

Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “fours” 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 Willow correspond to the numbers 23, 9, 12, 12, 15, and 23. The sum of these numbers is 94. The digits of 94 added together equal 13, and the digits of 13 added together equal 4 — the numerological value of Willow.

Number 4: Significance and associations

What does the number four mean in numerology?

There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number four. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 4 being described as “hardworking,” “practical,” “stable,” “trustworthy,” and “detail-oriented.”

We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 4:

• Seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter)
• Cardinal directions (north, south, east, west)
• States of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)
• Original Greek classical elements (water, earth, air, fire)
• Moon phases (new, half-moon waxing, full, half-moon waning)
• Suits of playing cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades)
• Suits of tarot cards (cups, coins, wands, swords)
• Limbs (2 arms and 2 legs)
• Baseball (4 bases)
• Violin (4 strings)
• Common time in music (4 beats per measure)
