Book Description

April 6, 1999
From the secret wisdom of Kabbalah, the Runes, and Numerology--an unprecedented guide to unlocking the hidden power of your name.

Your name is not only your calling card, it also may determine how your life will unfold. Mystics have studied the energies associated with names for centuries, but The Hidden Truth of Your Name is the first book to synthesize their fascinating findings into one compelling resource--offering in-depth profiles of 750 American names. Created by a team of linguistic experts and specialists, this beguiling reference guides you through the illuminating intricacies of three ancient systems of divination--and shows you how to apply them to create a subtly nuanced portrait of any name you choose.

- KABBALAH--This ancient Hebrew system of letter-and-number analysis helps you discover what the mathematics of your name adds up to in terms of work, relationships, and spiritual energies.

- THE RUNES--The letters of this old northern European alphabet, for centuries an honored source of religious and magical values, open surprising windows to self-discovery and change.

- NUMEROLOGY--The key numbers of your name contain potent truths about the positive and negative aspects of your true nature--and your destiny.

Complete with the principle colors, gemstones, and herbs that harmonize with each name, this delightfully accessible book at last gives you the means to uncover the hidden truth and unique traits of your name.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on Target!, August 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hidden Truth of Your Name: A Complete Guide to First Names and What They Say About the Real You (Paperback)
I had debated getting this book for so long, but I had a little extra cash in my pocket and decided what the heck. It is so right on target with so many people I know! I don't understand the people who say that they don't know how the book arrived at its information or that they didn't see thier name. In the first part of the book (that would be the part before the definitions of the names!) they explain why they used kabbalah, runes, and numerology and how you can use these tools to decode other names not included in the book. There are charts and worksheets to help you out. Great fun reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and Accurate, Couldn't put it down!, July 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hidden Truth of Your Name: A Complete Guide to First Names and What They Say About the Real You (Paperback)
My first surprise was that my name, with my spelling, showed in this book! That was a first for me. The next surprise was how accurate it was! Not just for me, but for just about everyone who I showed it to. Very interesting reading and lots of fun with a group of people. I was also interested to see how direct negative statements were avoided and what a positive tone was maintained. A great read. Also interesting for parents about to pick baby names.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource on Names, July 21, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hidden Truth of Your Name: A Complete Guide to First Names and What They Say About the Real You (Paperback)
Most of us can probably relate to having the same experience with people of the same name - for example maybe every Kelly you've met has been very kind. Names have their own associated energy and are part of why we have certain personalities. This book does an excellent job of explaining why names have these characteristics.

The book also goes into a number of historical ways names are interpreted and gives tools to help interpret names in general. The book does not list every name, it would be impossible, but the foundation it provides is excellent. The descriptions of the names included in the book seem pretty insightful and there are a fair number of names in there. I was really impressed with the explanation of how names have meaning but I like to know how things work. If you just want a huge list of names with no background on why names have meaning then other books may be better.

I highly recommend this book for those interested in the topic. It's much better than "The Secret Meaning of Names", which I found incredibly disappointing and ended up returning.
