Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 183.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “only, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “ram's horn, jubilee” (Exodus 19:13).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 959.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 14965.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 513. A Torah word with the same number is געתם — “Gatam, son of Eliphaz” (Genesis 36:11).
The letters that come out are שזפדצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 481. A Torah word with the same number is טבעת — “ring, signet ring” (Genesis 41:42).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 746. A Torah word with the same number is שמות — “names” (Genesis 2:20).
The number 183 appears in the classical books 4 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).
The name בעוקה does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For בעוקה these are ב and ה. The Pentateuch has 16 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 7:13:
בעצם היום הזה בא נח ושם וחם ויפת בני נח ואשת נח ושלשת נשי בניו אתם אל התבה
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
