A Russian name in Latin letters
Nadezhda is the Russian word for hope used as a name, and English receives it in transliteration rather than translation — which is why the English spelling is the longest of the three, at eight letters against seven in Russian and five in Ukrainian. In everyday English the short forms Nadia and Nadya are far more common than the full spelling, and both count as separate names here.
The ZH that costs sixteen
The letters run N 5, A 1, D 4, E 5, Z 8, H 8, D 4, A 1, adding to 36 and reducing to an Expression of 9. Z and H are the heaviest letters in the spelling at 8 apiece, so the five consonants reach 29 and a Personality of 2. Three vowels, all of them A or E: the cipher scores A as 1 and E as 3, so 1 plus 3 plus 1 leaves a Soul Urge of 5. Drop those two letters, as the short form Nadia does, and more than half the consonant weight goes with them.
Is Nadia the same name for this calculation?
No. Nadia is five letters and loses both Z and H, which together carry more than half the consonant weight of the long spelling.
Why is the English spelling longer than the Russian one?
Because one Cyrillic letter needs two Latin ones. Transliteration adds characters, and the method counts characters, so the sums differ.
Does the Ukrainian form calculate to the same numbers?
No. Ukrainian uses a different word, Nadiia, of a different length, and reads it against its own table. Nothing about the two results lines up.
