The name Ofelia is first attested in the Arcadia by Jacopo Sannazzaro in the early 1500s, given to a male character. It probably derives from the words ωφελεια [opheleia], ωφελια [ophelia], translated as 'help', 'aid'. Another variant is οφλος [ophlos], 'advantage', 'help'. The male name Οφελας [Ophelas] was attested in ancient Greece.Translated by Arcanes from the Italian Wikizionario, entry “Ofelia”, text and translation under CC BY-SA 4.0.

The meaning of the numbers comes from numerological tradition; it isn't a measure of your personality. A full portrait needs your first and middle names, your last name at birth, and your date of birth. How we calculate
Your name and theirs
The number of each name, and the number of the bond, which comes from adding them together. A symbolic game: what your two names say together, to be read as a metaphor, not as a verdict on your relationship.
