The name Admatha in Hebrew letters is אדמתא. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
אדמתא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אדמתא. A Tanakh name: a Persian nobleman (first in Esther 1:14; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 446. That number points to Torah page 92 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 24:45. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Admatha” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אדמתא. 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 אדמתא gives 446.
come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.'
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
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) — 446.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 41. A Torah word with the same number is אם — “if” (Genesis 4:7).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1652.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 161618.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 942.
The letters that come out are תקיאת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 911. A Torah word with the same number is ראשית — “beginning, first fruits” (Genesis 1:1).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1142.
The number 446 appears in the classical books 20 times across 13 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 446. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. אדמתא has 5 letters: א Alef, ד Dalet, מ Mem, ת Tav, א Alef. The first letter is Alef, the last is Alef.
For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name אדמתא 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 אדמתא these are א and א. The Pentateuch has 8 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 24:45:
אני טרם אכלה לדבר אל לבי והנה רבקה יצאת וכדה על שכמה ותרד העינה ותשאב ואמר אליה השקיני נא
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.
The name אדמתא has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 446 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
