Alethia

Alethia is an ancient Greek-derived female name. The meaning of Alethia is ‘verity,’ which originates from the Latin feminine noun called ‘veritas,’ referring to ‘truth.’ The usage of this name began in the 16th century, and it was started by Alethia Talbot who was the youngest daughter of an English Tudor knight, Gilbert Talbot. Later, she wedded Thomas Howard (The 21st Earl of Arundel). The name Alethia is used for the wealthy nobleman’s daughter in the era of the Renaissance in England. It is originally an Ancient Greek word, having several meanings such as ‘mythological goddess of truth,’ ‘truthful,’ and ‘verity.’ It is a prefix of a Greek word called ‘Lethe’ (which means forgetfulness). Moreover, Lethe is also referred to as the name of a river in Hades; it is believed that souls return in mortal form to drink before their reincarnation to forget their previous life’s memories and truths. It is known that girls with this name are inclusive of their close ones and environment and do not let others feel left out.

Lucky

Alethia lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
