סבנטה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סבנטה. This name comes from the Slavic languages. Its source is the word or name svyat, which means “holy”; today it is mostly found in Sweden, and it was borne by the chemist Svante Arrhenius. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 126. That number points to Torah page 126 of 354 — in the portion Yitro. What that portion is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 14:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Svante” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: סבנטה. Spelled by the Academy of the Hebrew Language rules for foreign names. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

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) — 126.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 27. A Torah word with the same number is בכה — “to weep” (Genesis 21:16).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 45. A Torah word with the same number is מה — “what” (Genesis 2:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 513. A Torah word with the same number is געתם — “Gatam, son of Eliphaz” (Genesis 36:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 6210.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 481. A Torah word with the same number is טבעת — “ring, signet ring” (Genesis 41:42).
The letters that come out are חשטנצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 457. A Torah word with the same number is אתון — “female donkey” (Genesis 12:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1063.
The number 126 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).
The name סבנטה 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 סבנטה these are ס and ה. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Numbers 14:19:
סלח נא לעון העם הזה כגדל חסדך וכאשר נשאתה לעם הזה ממצרים ועד הנה
This is from the portion Shlach. What it is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit.
