The name Amenkhotep in Hebrew letters is אמנחוטף. 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.
אמנחוטף
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אמנחוטף. This name comes from Ancient Egyptian: the roots Amun + hotep mean “the god Amun + is pleased”. Four pharaohs of Egypt had this name, among them Amenhotep III. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 194 — the same as the Torah word צדק, “righteousness, justice”. That number points to Torah page 194 of 354 — in the portion Achrei Mot. What that portion is about: The service of Yom Kippur: two goats, the lot, the Holy of Holies; the prohibition of blood; the laws of forbidden unions. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 23:27. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Amenkhotep” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אמנחוטף. 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 אמנחוטף gives 194.
194
The number 194 is the Torah word צדק — «righteousness, justice» (Leviticus 19:15).
He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired; they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.
This is from the portion Achrei Mot. What it is about: The service of Yom Kippur: two goats, the lot, the Holy of Holies; the prohibition of blood; the laws of forbidden unions.
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) — 914.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 41. A Torah word with the same number is אם — “if” (Genesis 4:7).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to begin” (Genesis 4:26).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 848. A Torah word with the same number is חתמת — “signet, seal” (Genesis 38:25).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 10682.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 645. A Torah word with the same number is רתמה — “Rithmah, desert campsite” (Numbers 33:18).
The letters that come out are תיטספנו — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 615. A Torah word with the same number is אחרות — “other” (Genesis 29:27).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1227.
The number 194 appears in the classical books 7 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים שער הקריאת שמע (~1573).

The name אמנחוטף 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 אמנחוטף these are א and פ. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 23:27:
את אימתי אשלח לפניך והמתי את כל העם אשר תבא בהם ונתתי את כל איביך אליך ערף
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אמנחוטף = 194. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired; they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.»
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.
