Meaning & Etymology
German, English, Ancient Germanic
Originally a short form of Germanic names beginning with the element beraht meaning "bright, famous". It was borne by the mother of Charlemagne in the 8th century, and it was popularized in England by the Normans. It died out as an English name after the Middle Ages, but was revived in the 19th century. The name also appears in southern Germanic legends (often spelled Perchta or Berchta) belonging to a goddess of animals and weaving.

CompassionateGenerousIdealisticCreativeWiseTolerant
Life Path 9 is governed by Mars — the warrior planet — but the 9 channels Mars's fierce energy not toward personal conquest but toward the elevation and healing of the world. The vibration of 9 is the energy of completion: it is the final number in the primary cycle, carrying within it the accumulated wisdom and experience of all the numbers that preceded it. The 9 has, in a sense, already been all the other numbers — has known the 1's ambition, the 2's sensitivity, the 3's joy, the 4's discipline, the 5's freedom, the 6's love, the 7's wisdom, and the 8's power — and what remains is the integration of all of them into a compassionate, expansive, universally oriented force for good. Life Path 9s are the humanitarians, the sages, the artists who create not for personal glory but for the enrichment of the collective.
