About This Calculator

The Greek Gematria Calculator (also called the Isopsephy Calculator) converts any Greek word, phrase, or sentence into its numerical value using the ancient Greek letter-number system. This system, known as isopsephy, was used by ancient Greeks and early Christians to find hidden meanings in names and texts through numerical analysis. Each letter of the Greek alphabet is assigned a specific number from 1 to 900, and the gematria value of a word is the sum of its letters' values.

The calculation follows the standard isopsephy mapping: α=1, β=2, γ=3, δ=4, ε=5, ϛ=6, ζ=7, η=8, θ=9, ι=10, κ=20, λ=30, μ=40, ν=50, ξ=60, ο=70, π=80, ϙ/ϟ=90, ρ=100, σ/ς=200, τ=300, υ=400, φ=500, χ=600, ψ=700, ω=800, ϡ=900. The calculator supports both lowercase and uppercase Greek letters, and properly handles special final-sigma (ς) and variant letter forms (koppa ϟ, sampi ϡ, stigma ϛ). Simply type or paste Greek text and click Calculate to get the isopsephy value instantly.

For example, the Greek word λογος (logos, meaning "word" or "reason") evaluates to 373: λ(30) + ο(70) + γ(3) + ο(70) + ς(200) = 373. The name Ιησους (Jesus) famously evaluates to 888: Ι(10) + η(8) + σ(200) + ο(70) + υ(400) + ς(200) = 888. The number 666, known as the "number of the beast" from the Book of Revelation, corresponds to the Greek spelling of several names depending on the manuscript tradition.

Regional Notes

Greek gematria (isopsephy) is a universal system rooted in ancient Greek and Hellenistic culture. It has no regional variations — the letter-value mappings are consistent across all Greek manuscripts from antiquity through the Byzantine period. Scholars in India, the US, the UK, and worldwide use the same standard isopsephy table for biblical studies, classical philology, and numerological analysis. The calculator defaults to the universally accepted Greek gematria values used by academic researchers internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Greek gematria (isopsephy) work?

Greek gematria, also known as isopsephy, assigns a numerical value to each letter of the Greek alphabet. To calculate the gematria value of a word or phrase, sum up the numeric values of all its letters. For example, the Greek word λογος (logos) equals 373: λ=30 + ο=70 + γ=3 + ο=70 + ς=200 = 373.

What is the Greek gematria value of logos (λογος)?

The Greek word λογος (logos, meaning 'word' or 'reason') has a gematria value of 373: λ=30 + ο=70 + γ=3 + ο=70 + ς=200 = 373.

What is the Greek gematria value of Jesus (Ιησους)?

The Greek word Ιησους (Iēsous, Jesus) has a gematria value of 888: Ι=10 + η=8 + σ=200 + ο=70 + υ=400 + ς=200 = 888. This number is traditionally associated with Jesus in Christian numerology.

What Greek letters are used in isopsephy?

Greek gematria uses the full 27-letter ancient Greek alphabet including the letters alpha (α=1), beta (β=2), gamma (γ=3), delta (δ=4), epsilon (ε=5), digamma/stigma (ϛ=6), zeta (ζ=7), eta (η=8), theta (θ=9), iota (ι=10), kappa (κ=20), lambda (λ=30), mu (μ=40), nu (ν=50), xi (ξ=60), omicron (ο=70), pi (π=80), koppa (ϙ/ϟ=90), rho (ρ=100), sigma (σ/ς=200), tau (τ=300), upsilon (υ=400), phi (φ=500), chi (χ=600), psi (ψ=700), omega (ω=800), and sampi (ϡ=900).

What is the difference between gematria and isopsephy?

Gematria traditionally refers to the Hebrew system of letter-number coding, while isopsephy is the Greek equivalent. Both systems assign numerical values to letters, but they use different alphabets and numbering schemes. Isopsephy specifically uses the ancient Greek alphabet with values from 1 to 900, while Hebrew gematria uses the Hebrew alphabet with values from 1 to 400.

Is this Greek gematria calculator free to use?

Yes, this Greek gematria (isopsephy) calculator is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, subscription fees, or usage limits. You can calculate as many words and phrases as you like.

Can I use Latin letters in this calculator?

This calculator works directly with Greek letters only. You need to input Greek text (e.g. λογος) to get the isopsephy value. If you have Latin text, you must first transliterate it to the Greek alphabet before calculating. The table on this page shows the Greek-to-Latin letter mappings to help you.

What are common uses of Greek gematria?

Greek gematria (isopsephy) is used in biblical studies to analyze numeric values in the New Testament, in historical linguistics to study ancient Greek texts, by scholars researching early Christian symbolism (such as the number 888 for Jesus and 666 mentioned in Revelation), and by enthusiasts of numerology and classical Greek culture.
