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.
ענתתיה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ענתתיה. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Chronicles 8:24; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “answers of God”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 935. That number points to Torah page 227 of 354 — in the portion Naso. What that portion is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 31:52. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Anthothijah” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ענתתיה. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name ענתתיה gives 935.
935
The number 935, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 227 in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers).
The verse this place falls on is Bamidbar (Numbers) 4:36:
וַיִּהְיוּ פְקֻדֵיהֶם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם אַלְפַּיִם שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים
And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
This is from the portion Naso. What it is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar.
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) — 935.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 26. A Torah word with the same number is והיה — “and it became” (Genesis 2:10).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 89. A Torah word with the same number is טף — “little children” (Genesis 34:29).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 3580.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 327525.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 3495.
The letters that come out are זטאאמצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 148. A Torah word with the same number is פסח — “Passover” (Exodus 12:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1074.
The number 935 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is תורת העולה (~1570).
The name ענתתיה 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 ענתתיה these are ע and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 31:52:
עד הגל הזה ועדה המצבה אם אני לא אעבר אליך את הגל הזה ואם אתה לא תעבר אלי את הגל הזה ואת המצבה הזאת לרעה
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 935. 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
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: ענתתיה = 935. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

Half of all names have such a day.
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.
