The word for "life" in Hebrew is "chai." The two Hebrew letters that make up the word "chai" are chet and yud. The letters have numerical value. The chai is equivalent to 8 and yud is equivalent to 10. So "chai", chet and yud added together, equals 18. Any multiple of 18, ie 18, 36, 54, etc. can be a chai number.
"Chai" is spelled chet-yod .'Chet' is the 8th letter of the alphabet.'Yod' is the 10th letter of the alphabet.8 + 10 = 18 .
In Hebrew the word 'chai' ('חי') means life. In the Hebrew numeral system ח is 10 and י is 8. So חי is 18. This means that in the Jewish faith, the number 18 is always linked with life. In Roman times, Jewish people would inscribe XIIX in significant or religious places as a blessing. They would write in Roman numerals because Judaism was often outlawed and they had to hide it. Below is Mark's explanation of the Roman numeral system: I is equivalent to 1, V is equivalent to 5, X is equivalent to 10, L is equivalent to 50, let's stop at there. I is one, II is two, III is three, IV is four, V is 5. The reason IV would be four instead IIII being four it means 5 - 1. Similarly, IX is 9. However, VI and XI mean 6 and 11 respectively. if a smaller number comes before a bigger number, it is subtracted from the bigger number. Otherwise, the numbers are added. there may be XL to represent 40 but never XXL to represent thirty. similarly, you will never see IIV or IIX. This is correct relating to modern use of Roman numerals. The antique Romans did occasionally use XIIX as 18. See the tombstone of Marcus Caelius. The second line of the inscription is "o Leg XIIX Ann LIII s", meaning "first order of the 18th legion in his 53rd and half year".
double chai means double life. it is represented by the number 36.

The reason $18.00, or a multiple of 18 is so often given is because in Judaism, 18 is a very significant number. 18 means "Chai", in Hebrew, which in English, means "Life". Hope this helps! Clarification: In Hebrew, each letter of the alphabet has a numerical value. The letters that make up the word 'chai', which means life, have the value of 18. 18 doesn't actually mean 'chai'.
