דיאנתה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דיאנתה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 470 — the same as the Torah word עת, “time”. That number points to Torah page 116 of 354 — in the portion Beshalach. What that portion is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Leviticus 4:2. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Diantha” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: דיאנתה. 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 דיאנתה gives 470.
470
The number 470 is the Torah word עת — «time» (Genesis 8:11).
And the Egyptians shall know that I am HaShem, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
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) — 470. A Torah word with the same number is עת — “time” (Genesis 8:11).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 56. A Torah word with the same number is יום — “day” (Genesis 1:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1771.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 162642.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1033.
The letters that come out are קמתטאצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 640. A Torah word with the same number is שמש — “sun” (Genesis 15:12).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1083.
The number 470 appears in the classical books 16 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning

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 דיאנתה 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 דיאנתה these are ד and ה. The Pentateuch has 9 such verses. The first of them is Leviticus 4:2:
דבר אל בני ישראל לאמר נפש כי תחטא בשגגה מכל מצות ה׳ אשר לא תעשינה ועשה מאחת מהנה
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: דיאנתה = 470. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
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.
