Gematria
Every letter carries a number. Gematria adds them — a quiet mirror of the resonance in a name or word, not a fortune.

The hidden number in a name or word, using the letter-cipher that actually matches its script.
Hebrew text uses Mispar Hechrachi (the standard cipher) — א=1…י=10 … ק=100…ת=400, with final (sofit) letters taking their base value. Latin text uses A=1…Z=26, which we label plainly as a modern English extension, not the ancient tradition itself.
We never fabricate a Hebrew value from a guessed transliteration of a Latin name — Hebrew letters get the Hebrew cipher, everything else gets the English one. This is a mirror of numeric resonance, not a verdict.
No, and we say so on the page — English A=1…Z=26 is a modern extension inspired by the Hebrew and Greek tradition, not the tradition itself.
No — we never guess a Hebrew transliteration for a Latin name. Hebrew script gets the Hebrew cipher, Latin script gets the English cipher, and we don't mix the two.
