Letter Meanings

Letters of the alphabet represent energies that may be interpreted. Thus, each letter has a meaning.

The interpretation generally is in relation to where the letter occurs — in a name, a non-name word, or by itself.

This article's focus is on interpretations of letters occurring in a name. The letter's energy tends to have an effect on the characteristics of the person.

If the letter is the first letter of the name, the first vowel of the name, or the last letter of the name, its energies tend to have more force than letters in other positions and provide additional insight into the person's characteristics.

The first letter, first vowel, and last letter is of the first personal name, not any second or middle name(s) nor the last or family name. The links in the above paragraph provide more information.

Below, you'll find interpretations for each of the 26 letters of the English language.
