Properties of the number 11
Symbolism
Symbol of the interior fight, the rebellion and the mislaying which results from it. But it also represents someone who comes out victorious of the tests with the acquired knowledge.
Represent the transgression of the law because it exceeds of one the number of ten, which is the one of the Decalogue. For this fact, it represents the sin according to saint Augustin. The psalm 11 (Vulgate numbering) asks effectively the punishment of the wicked. The theoretical speculations on this number confirm this symbolism. The sum of numbers 1 to 11 is 66, which multiplying eleven by the number symbol of the evil, the diabolic 6; by the addition of the two digits which compose it as by its reading in Roman number, II, it reminds the 2, number of the division and the corruption.
Number expressing more than the human sin, it is the sin in general or cosmic, according to R. Allendy.
According to Peignot, it is the force of witnesses and the Word. Eleven is therefore the number of the martyrdom, the testimony and the prophecy.
Represent the union of the microcosm and the macrocosm - 5 + 6.
Number of the knowledge of God, according to Arabs, this one passing by 11 steps.
Number in relation to the mysteries of the fruitfulness in the African esoteric traditions.
Number representing the individual initiative but exercising without relationship to the cosmic harmony, consequently of a rather unfavorable nature.

Bad number according to the Hebrews. This is why there would not exist any name having eleven letters in Hebrew.
