Baby Name: Kayla

If you’re on the hunt for baby names with a numerological value of 5, you’re in luck! Because today’s post features hundreds of 5-names.

Before we get to the names, though — how do we know that they’re “fives” 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 Peyton correspond to the numbers 16, 5, 25, 20, 15, and 14. The sum of these numbers is 95. The digits of 95 added together equal 14, and the digits of 14 added together equal 5 — the numerological value of Peyton.

Number 5: Significance and associations

What does the number five mean in numerology?

There’s no definitive answer, unfortunately, because various numerological systems exist, and each one has its own interpretation of the number five. That said, if we look at a couple of modern numerology/astrology websites, we see 5 being described as “freedom-loving,” “dynamic,” “adaptable,” “curious,” and “unpredictable.”

We can also look at associations, which are a bit more concrete. Here are some things that are associated with the number 5:

• Fingers
  • High-five (hand gesture)
• Toes
• Senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing)
• Tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami)
• Starfish (most starfish have 5 arms)
• Basketball (5 players per side)
• Olympic Games (symbolized by 5 interlocked rings)
• Greek classical elements (water, earth, air, fire, aether)
  • Quintessence (refers to the fifth element, aether, which was a late addition to the list)
• Chinese traditional elements (water, fire, earth, wood, metal)
