James

Meaning

Of Hebrew origin, meaning "he who fights alongside God".

Traits and personality

Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials A, J and S map to the number 1: an independent, self-sufficient personality with a natural leader's instinct — goal-driven, more inclined to blaze a trail than follow one. This is a numerology reading, not an exact science — character is shaped by life, not by a name.
