Sometimes you are this word

Remove the first letter, does not change the meaning

Remove the first two letters, still feels the same

Remove the first three letters and you find a way

Remove the first four letters and you get a number

The letters rearranged is a surname

What is the word?

I think the answer is:

alone

Remove the first letter, does not change the meaning

lone, just alone

Remove the first two letters, still feels the same

one, still be alone

Remove the first three letters and you find a way

NE (northeast - a direction)

Remove the first four letters and you get a number

e(2.718......)

The letters rearranged is a surname

Leona (maybe O'Neal is closer to surname, thanks to Stiv~)

And the answer matches the question title:

the word with 3 vowels(a,e,o)

    $\begingroup$ Nice work - I think the surname you might be missing is rot13(B'ARNY) +1 :) $\endgroup$
