What does the number 86 mean in the web address and e-mail? It is the numeric value of the name אלהים "Elohim". This is the first name of G-d used in the Bible. The first mention is in Genesis 1:1. As you know each Hebrew letter has a numreric value attached to it. The numeric value of each letter in אלהים "Elohim" is as follows:
א = 1
ל = 30
ה = 5
י = 10
ם = 40
Total = 86
