From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Carlos yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Carlos records 2,614 births at rank 135, a 24% ten-year decline against its 2001 high of 6,842 and a best rank of 59 in 1999. That decline is the mildest of the three Spanish staples in this batch — Luis is off 29%, Juan 33% — but the shape is identical, and 306,621 births since 1880 make it the deepest-rooted of them in American records. The file's headline bearer is Charles V, born 1500, listed under the English form of a monarch known in Spain as Carlos I; Charlie Sheen, born 1965, appears because he was born Carlos Estévez. Between an emperor filed under the wrong language and an actor who changed his name, this list needs more care than most before anything from it reaches a page.
