The number of your name

Serge (סרז) — French form of Sergius, an old Roman family name whose meaning is not known.
And the same number belongs to the Torah word נזיר — “set apart, Nazirite”.

Your word in the Torah

The word נזיר — “set apart, Nazirite” — has the same number as your name. Here is the verse where it first appears:

ברכת אביך גברו על ברכת הורי עד תאות גבעת עולם תהיין לראש יוסף ולקדקד נזיר אחיו
Genesis 49:26

The verse of your name

Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ס and ends with ז. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

The week you were born

Add your date of birth and we will show which portion the world was reading the week you appeared, and whether it holds a word of your number.

How to read your number

Fact. The letters of the name סרז add up to 267. Plain addition — you can check it yourself.

Meaning. There is a Torah word with the same number — נזיר (“set apart, Nazirite”). A matching sum does not mean the word is 'about you'; it is a reason to look at what in it matters to you.

A question for yourself. What in this do you recognise in yourself — and what would you like to strengthen?

Practice. This week: open the verse of your name, read it slowly three times and write down one thought that stays with you.

סרז׳
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סרז׳. French form of Sergius, an old Roman family name whose meaning is not known. The Russian form of the same name is Sergei. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 267 — the same as the Torah word נזיר, “set apart, Nazirite”. That number points to Torah page 267 of 354 — in the portion Balak. What that portion is about: Balak hires Balaam; the donkey sees the angel; blessing instead of curse: “how goodly are your tents, O Jacob”. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Serge” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: סרז׳. The customary Hebrew spelling of this name. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name סרז׳ gives 267.
267
The number 267 is the Torah word נזיר — «set apart, Nazirite» (Genesis 49:26).

✓ Verify

This number is shared with 5 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.

The number 267, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 267 in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers).
The verse this place falls on is Bamidbar (Numbers) 24:1:
וַיַּרְא בִּלְעָם כִּי טוֹב בְּעֵינֵי ה׳ לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא־הָלַךְ כְּפַעַם־בְּפַעַם לִקְרַאת נְחָשִׁים וַיָּשֶׁת אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּר פָּנָיו
And when Balaam saw that it pleased HaShem to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
This is from the portion Balak. What it is about: Balak hires Balaam; the donkey sees the angel; blessing instead of curse: “how goodly are your tents, O Jacob”.
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) — 267. A Torah word with the same number is נזיר — “set apart, Nazirite” (Genesis 49:26).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 42. A Torah word with the same number is חדל — “to cease” (Genesis 11:8).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1078.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 43649.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 587. A Torah word with the same number is מצאתנו — “has befallen us” (Numbers 20:14).
The letters that come out are חגע — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 81. A Torah word with the same number is אנכי — “I” (Genesis 3:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 697. A Torah word with the same number is תאמרון — “you shall say” (Genesis 32:5).
The number 267 appears in the classical books 9 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).
The name סרז׳ does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.

Your name's day

The name סרז׳ has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 267 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.
