Is Your Name Cursed? Worst Names in Kabbalistic Numerology
The Worst Names in Kabbalistic Numerology: What No One Wants to Tell You.
My friends, let me be clear from the start: I didn’t invent Kabbalistic numerology. I am simply a student, a messenger of ancient wisdom that has been suppressed, ignored, and misunderstood for centuries. And what I’m about to tell you will make some of you uncomfortable. Good. Truth isn’t meant to comfort—it’s meant to illuminate.
Before you send me angry emails or leave outraged comments, listen carefully: when I say certain names carry negative vibrations, I am NOT saying that everyone with these names is doomed to failure. Calm down. What I AM saying is that these names create obstacles, difficulties, energetic blocks that the bearer must work harder to overcome. Can they succeed anyway? Of course! But why make life harder than it needs to be?
Think of it this way: you can drive a car with the parking brake on. You might even reach your destination. But wouldn’t it be wiser to release that brake?
The Universal Rule: H, N, and E—The Triple Five Curse
Before we dive into specific names, you need to understand the fundamental principle: any name containing the letters H, N, and E together is problematic. Why? Because all three letters vibrate at the number 5.
In the tarot, specifically cards 50 through 59, we encounter the suit of swords—or gladii in the Egyptian tarot that forms the foundation of Kabbalistic numerology. This is the energy of conflict, of cutting, of perpetual battle. When you have multiple fives in a name, especially the 5-5-5 combination, you’re programming that person for struggle.
This isn’t my opinion. This is mathematical frequency translated into lived experience.
The Deadly Suffixes: -ano, -ana, -eno, -ena, -ino, -ina -any -ann -nne -enn -nna -een
Any name ending in these suffixes carries a heavy karmic weight. And if you think I’m exaggerating, let me give you examples that will shock you. But I ask that you research these facts yourself. Don’t take my word for it—verify what I’m telling you.
The Male Names That Bring Suffering
Adriano. Yes, like the Emperor Hadrian. One of the worst possible names. The vibration is scattered, unfocused, prone to self-destruction. Now you might say, “But Hadrian was a good emperor!” Do you really know how his private life was? Do you know what happens behind closed doors? You see the stage, my friend, but you don’t see the backstage.
Alexander. Ah, here comes the controversy. “But Alexander the Great conquered the world!” Yes, and did you know he was demonstrably the greatest murderer in human history? Not through war strategy—through his own hands. No man in recorded history has personally killed more people. He died at 33 from a mysterious illness.
Let me be clear about something that makes people uncomfortable: Alexander’s sexuality was characterized by extreme excess and imbalance. This is well-documented historical fact, not moral judgment. Historians record that he engaged sexually with multiple men simultaneously—five, six at a time. This isn’t about homosexuality itself—it’s about the pattern of excess, of inability to find balance, of compulsive behavior that marked every area of his life. Violence, conquest, sexuality—everything taken to destructive extremes. This is the Alexander energy: brilliant, powerful, and utterly incapable of moderation.
Now, does this mean every Alexander will be a murderer? Obviously not. But look at the pattern: most successful Alexanders either change their name to Alex, or they have a powerful surname that counterbalances the negativity. Without that balance, the name creates turbulence.
Anderson. Another disastrous configuration. The name literally contains “son” energy subordinated to struggle.
Anthony. Now here’s something fascinating. In Portugal, where Anthonys (Antónios) are everywhere and often successful, they use the acute accent: António. That accent on the O makes it vibrate at 9 instead of 7, completely changing the energy. Anton, Antoni, Antoine are not any better. If your child is named António with the acute accent like the Portuguese use, you’re fine. Otherwise, you’re in trouble.
Edson/Edison. Let me tell you something most people don’t know. Pelé’s birth name isn’t Edson—it’s Edison with an ‘i’, later changed to Edson. And do you know what’s fascinating? Pelé himself makes a distinction between “Pelé” and “Edson.” He speaks of Pelé in the third person. “Pelé did this, Pelé achieved that.” But Edson? Edson is the man who suffered.
Look at Pelé’s life—the suffering it has caused. A son involved with drugs, imprisoned. Multiple failed marriages. That hip operation that went wrong. A series of terrible problems. This is a man who had to create an entirely different identity to succeed. The greatest footballer in history couldn’t do it as Edison or Edson—he had to become Pelé. Think about what that tells you about the weight of that name.
Emerson. Another disaster. Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the greatest American philosophers of the 19th century—brilliant name Ralph Waldo, terrible surname Emerson. Look at the last 20 years of his life. Horrible. The pattern of Emerson: start strong, end in suffering.
Enzo. “But Enzo Ferrari!” Yes, and do you know what happened in Enzo Ferrari’s life from birth onward? 1. The death of his son; 2. Chronic emotional rigidity; 3. A reputation for coldness and isolation. You only see that he founded Ferrari. You don’t see the rest. Same with Henry Ford—you see one side but never the other.
Ezekiel. Open your Bible and read about Ezekiel. Perhaps the man who suffered most in all of scripture. He suffered so much that the God of Israel bound him for more than a year—couldn’t move—to pay for the sins of Jerusalem. Read it. See what happened. And people continue giving this name to their children. Ezekiel is one of the worst names in the world.
Philip. Terrible. Look at the French kings, the Spanish kings named Felipe. All murderers. All brutal. The name carries that energy.
Fernando. The Spanish kings named Fernando? Brutal murderers, every single one. The Inquisition. The blood. That’s Fernando energy.
Giovanni. Italy is full of Giovannis with serious problems. The pattern repeats.
The “Hen” Factor and the Kings of Cruelty
Henry. Any name containing the syllable or sound “hen” carries an undercurrent of harshness, even cruelty. Why? Because of the numerical structure: H-E-N creates a 5-5-5 vibration. Three fives together. In the Major Arcana, this combination manifests as battle, struggle, conflict without resolution. It’s the energy of perpetual war, of cruelty that believes itself justified.
The English kings named Henry—First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth. Brutal murderers, all of them. Henry VIII saw to the beheadings of wives who didn’t give him male children. Imagine how bad that name is.
Henry Ford—fabulously wealthy, yes. But his personal life? A disaster. His relationships? Toxic. His treatment of workers? Ruthless. That 5-5-5 playing out exactly as the numbers predict.
Jean. Male or female. Everything bad. Very few Jeans are successful.
Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was, in my opinion, perhaps the most extraordinary president of the United States. Wise, fantastically wise. Elected twice, and the people begged him for a third term, which he refused per the Constitution. He retired from life, went to live as a hermit on a mountain with a slave (yes, he was a slave owner). His final years? Suffering. Deep suffering. Despite being, in my opinion, the most extraordinary of all presidents, that name brought him pain.
The Angelic Names: Too Heavy for Humans
Michael. Let’s talk about why angelic names are terrible for humans to carry.
Michael, Gabriel, Rafael, Daniel—names ending in -EL. These are names of angels, names that carry frequencies meant for celestial beings, not humans. When you name a human child with an angel’s name, you’re placing on them an energetic burden they were never designed to bear. It’s like forcing a child to wear armor made for a giant—the weight crushes them.
Michael means “Who is like God?” That’s an angel’s question, an angel’s energy. Humans aren’t meant to carry that. The result? A pattern of building tremendous things and watching them collapse. Of reaching impossible heights and falling catastrophically.
Mike Tyson reached a fortune of 200 million dollars. Today? Broke. Doing cameos in movies. Making bit parts in comedies just to pay bills. The man who was the most feared boxer on earth, reduced to appearing with his own tiger in The Hangover films because he needs the money.
“But he made bad decisions!” you’ll say. Exactly. The name Michael creates a pattern of acquiring and losing, building and destroying. Tremendous energy for accumulation—that’s the angelic power—but no capacity for preservation. That’s the human limitation trying to hold celestial fire. Most Michaels live this cycle: rise, fall, rise again, fall harder. The angel energy lifts them up, but they’re human, and eventually, gravity wins.
Paul. “But Paul was an Apostle of Jesus!” Yes. And he died beheaded. They cut his neck. Does this mean every Paul will be beheaded? Of course not. But Paul is no good.
Theodore, Charlie, Freddie, Vincent, Archie, Finley, Noah, Wagner, Walter. All terrible.
Stephen. Stephen with P-H and the letter E is horrible.
Gary. G-A-R-Y. Another piece of garbage. People have no idea.
The Women’s Names: Double N Makes Everything Worse
Ana. Every name ending in -ana, -ena, -ina -any is very negative. But some people make it worse: Anna with two N’s. A-N-N-A. Then the situation becomes catastrophic. These people suffer tremendously. The double N creates a loop, an intensification of that number 5 energy that just repeats and repeats.
Anna with double ‘n’ is worse than Ana with one. Much worse. The doubling intensifies the negative frequency. It creates a loop, a karmic repetition that the person must break through immense effort. Anne is just as bad.
And all the variations—Joanna, Julianna, Marianna, Gianna, Brianna, Rosanna —carry this same burden. Beautiful names, socially acceptable names, names that sound melodious. And yet, numerologically, they create friction in the bearer’s path.
Does this mean these women are failures? No! Many are highly successful. But ask them—truly ask them—about their struggles. About the patterns that repeat in their lives. About the feeling that they’re working twice as hard for half the recognition.
Alexandra, Alessandra. With an X or with two S’s, doesn’t matter. Same energy as Alexandre—horrible.
Angela, Danielle, Evelyn, Isabella, Isabelle, Isobel, Michelle. The Es, the EL of angelic names problem.
Esther. Has the letter E twice and the letter H once.
Fatima or Fatimah with an H in the end— it’s even worse. People have no idea where this name comes from. “Well it’s from Our Lady of Fátima in Portugal!” I know. But do you know that Fátima was Muhammad’s daughter and she hanged herself and cursed her name?
That city in Portugal called Fátima was founded by the Arabs, by the Moors. It’s a total disgrace. The only thing Fátima has is a gigantic church always full of people giving money that the Vatican lives off of, off the unhappiness of the people. The city is misery. The city is horrible. The apparition? A lie. Total charlatanism. Never existed. The three shepherds—Lúcia, Jacinto, and the other one, Francisco, that they murdered on the spot when they saw that thing that never existed. Fátima is a lie. It’s a cursed name.
Helen, Helena. In my opinion, the worst name of all. Helen comes from Helen of Troy—a monster of a woman who betrayed her husband. Because of this woman, for twelve years the Greeks and Trojans fought. The vast majority of Greek heroes died because of a woman named Helen of Troy, who wasn’t even from Troy. She ran off with her lover, Paris, the Trojan prince.
Helena is beautiful in sound. But look: twice the letter E, once the letter N, ending in -ena. Catastrophic.
Jennifer. “Jennifer Lopez!” Calm down. Go see Jennifer Lopez’s life, what happened in her childhood. I know a lot, but I won’t tell you. The letter N twice, letter E twice—horrible.
Magali. Doesn’t even have N or E, but creates a sequence of 4-4-4 immediately, which makes the person poor.
Madeleine is a terrible name, vibrationally terrible, and people get offended because it sounds beautiful, because it sounds French, because it sounds delicate — but numerology does not care about aesthetics. Madeleine ends in -ine, which is one of the most unstable endings that exists, it disperses energy, it offers no containment, no protection. Then you look at the letters and you see three Es, three times the vibration of 5. Add to that the letter N, another destabilising element, and what you have is a name that leaves the person energetically unguarded. This is especially serious in a child’s name. I am not saying tragedy happens because of a name, don’t be ridiculous, but I am saying that when life tests, some names resist and others don’t. Madeleine does not resist. It is a name that attracts instability, that weakens boundaries, that makes the person too exposed to the outside world. Beautiful sound, disastrous vibration. And numerology looks at vibration, not poetry.
Valentina. Calamitous.
Vanessa, Disatrous.
Pamela. There are several famous Pamelas, including Pamela Anderson—earned millions, now totally destitute. Pamela is already a problematic name. Add Anderson, which is one of the worst surnames that exists, a name that brings loss after gain, exposure, scandal, and collapse. So what do you have? A double vibration of instability. Enormous fame, enormous money, and no containment.
Lena. Comes from Helena. Letter E and letter N. Lena is another calamity.
Penelope. That’s a name people love because they were told a beautiful story, the faithful wife, the patient woman, the symbol of loyalty. But nobody talks about the tragedy of Penelope. Penelope’s entire life was waiting. Waiting while her husband was gone for twenty years. Waiting while her youth disappeared. Waiting while men invaded her home, consumed her resources, threatened her safety. She survived through deception, weaving by day and undoing by night, living in permanent tension, fear, and emotional suspension. Then you put this myth into a name overloaded with Es. Catastrophic.
Florence is another example of aesthetic deception. People associate it with culture, art, refinement — but vibrationally it is extremely problematic. Florence contains excess E, N, and ends in an arcana of suffering. This is not a light name. It is a weight.
Sienna is particularly dangerous because people choose it for its softness and warmth. But Sienna ends in -enna, one of the worst possible endings, and contains the N–E combination. For a child’s name, this is especially serious. It is a name that does not protect.

Before You Attack Me, Understand This
Don’t insult me. Don’t say, “But I’m called Helen and my life is wonderful!” Lie. You’re lying. Don’t be fooled. Everything you go through, sometimes you forget and blame someone else. It’s easier. “My life is like this because of my husband, because of my brother, because of that person.” What exists is that this numerical vibration always brings something bad. Always.
I know that many Pauls and Walters are successful. But if you saw what these people went through, you have no idea. They managed to overcome because the other numbers of their birth date and their surname alleviate this a little. And independent of the given name and birth date is the person’s willpower—that’s more important, much more important.
Now, if you can have a good name, come on, let’s have a good name. That’s the reality.
The Alternative: Choose Wisely
I know families who will not name their children without first consulting Kabbalistic Numerology. They send me five or six name options and ask, “Which one is the best?” They also provide the possible birth dates — because today this can often be planned. If the doctor says the child will be born between the 15th and the 20th, we choose the best day. I analyse the name, the surname, and the date together. This is Kabbalistic Numerology.
This is Kabbalistic numerology. You are not surrendering to fate. You have the option of choosing a good name and a good day for this person to be born.
Believe me, it works.
What You Must Understand
I know this makes people angry. Parents who named their children these names feel attacked. People bearing these names feel judged. But I’m not here to make you comfortable—I’m here to tell you truths that have been hidden.
Can these patterns be overcome? YES. Through awareness. Through spiritual work. Through changing signatures (not necessarily legal names, but how you sign, how you present yourself). Through understanding your complete numerological chart—your destiny number, your karmic lessons, your soul’s purpose.
A terrible name with a powerful surname and strong birth numbers can still create success. But why fight with a handicap when you don’t have to?
The universe doesn’t care about your feelings. It operates on frequency, on vibration, on mathematical principles that existed before humans gave them names. I’m simply reading the code that’s been written since the beginning.
You can call me controversial. You can call me harsh. But you cannot call me wrong.
Research these examples yourself. Look at the patterns. Then decide if I’m speaking truth or nonsense.
In the next post, we’ll explore the opposite—the spectacular names, the best names that create flow instead of friction. Names that help instead of hinder. Names that open doors instead of closing them. For now, sit with this uncomfortable truth: your name is not neutral. It’s either helping you or hindering you. And most people go their entire lives never knowing which.
