How your name is written in the letters of the Torah
Your name in the Torah: in Hebrew letters, as a number, with the verse it lands on and the sources. Computed, not divined. Free.
פרנתישקה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרנתישקה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 1145. That number points to Torah page 83 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
Adding up the letters of the name פרנתישקה gives 1145.
1145
The number 1145, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 83 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis).
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 46:7:
בָּנָיו וּבְנֵי בָנָיו אִתּוֹ בְּנֹתָיו וּבְנוֹת בָּנָיו וְכָל־זַרְעוֹ הֵבִיא אִתּוֹ מִצְרָיְמָה ס
his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
This is from the portion Vayigash. What it is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen.
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) — 1145.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 128. A Torah word with the same number is חלץ — “to pull out, remove” (Leviticus 14:40).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 4650.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 309025.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 5485.
The letters that come out are וגטאמבדצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 155. A Torah word with the same number is קנה — “stalk, reed” (Genesis 41:5).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1675.
The number 1145 appears in the classical books 2 times across 1 work. The earliest mention is מעשה רוקח על המשנה (~1740).
The name פרנתישקה 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 פרנתישקה these are פ and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:4:
פחז כמים אל תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.

Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, day 861 of your life (±1), the psalm by age, the attestations from the classical books — a PDF sent to your email.
The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 1145. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Your name's day
The name פרנתישקה has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 1145 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
How it is counted
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
