Meaning of Letter D

The fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet is Daleth, which is letter D in English. In esoteric teachings, Daleth represents the sacred womb, door, and knowledge. The womb is our birth door from the spiritual to the material universe.

When the ancient Greeks borrow this concept, they called it “Delta”, whose symbol is the triangle. This triangle is closely associated with the triangular figure of Pythagoras named “Tetractys”. The triangle is the sacred symbolism of Pythagoreans as it contains within itself the doctrine of Perfection and Completion (10). We have:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10


One door closes another will open. Therefore, at the end of 4, it is a symbolic door that opens our consciousness to another world of perfection. In English, when we add the suffix “-ed” in a verb, it means that the action was “completed”.

In Egyptian hieroglyphic, letter D is the symbolic hands of Osiris, according to Resurrect Isis. The Egyptians believe that the function of the hands is to build the holy temple (Body) through our Deeds. Thus, it is through our deeds of righteousness that we can become complete and perfect human beings.

D is the fourth letter, whose numerical value is 4, representing the cube in numerology. In spirituality, the cube is the symbol of an enclosed man. This man is ignorant because his spiritual faculties are “boxed in” or undeveloped.

Thus, when we open the cube, it shows the representation of the Cross that Jesus was crucified upon. Symbolically, the Crucifixion of Jesus signifies a man opens the door of spirituality and is born again with a body of light.

“But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.”

(Genesis 19:26)

In the Bible, when Lot’s wife looked back at the city of Sodom and became “a pillar of salt”, this represents the state of attaching to old habits and beliefs. When salt crystallizes, it crystallizes in cube shape, which is the symbol of letter D.

As the spiritual meaning of letter D is the door, we need to open the cube so that it becomes a cross. That is, a cross is letter D being developed spiritually while a cube is letter D being developed materially.

Meaning of Letter D in Your Name

Positive Traits

In numerology, if the first letter of your first name starts with D, you are Discipline, Determined, Decisive, and Dependable in personality. The root of letter D is in the physical world, so you are here to be a Designer whose Dominion is the grand architecture of Earth.

D is an enclosed letter. Therefore, you are sensitive, fixed, reserved, and Domestic in nature. You may feel “hard to breathe” due to the limitations you set for yourselves. In terms of spirituality, you possess the ability to feel the spiritual world. It is the ability to feel things before things happen.

Unlike letter C, letter D wants stability over unpredictability. You are likely to prefer a methodical, secure, and firm path towards success.

The negative traits of D are stubbornness, limitation, avoidance, and rigidity. D people take a serious approach to life. Your dark sides can be expressed in your personality as being super conservative, opinionated, and materialistic.
