The name Ditrikh in Hebrew letters is דיטריח. 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.
דיטריח
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דיטריח. The name Ditrikh comes from Old Germanic diet + rihhi, “people and ruler”. In German it is written Dietrich. Dietrich of Bern is a hero of old German legends and songs. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 241 — the same as the Torah word אמר, “to say”. That number points to Torah page 241 of 354 — in the portion Behaalotcha. What that portion is about: Lighting the lampstand; the second Passover; the cloud leads the camp; quail and complaints; Miriam and tzaraat. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Ditrikh” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: דיטריח. 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 דיטריח gives 241.
241
The number 241 is the Torah word אמר — «to say» (Genesis 1:3).
And when it rested, he said: 'Return, O HaShem, unto the ten thousands of the families of Israel.'
This is from the portion Behaalotcha. What it is about: Lighting the lampstand; the second Passover; the cloud leads the camp; quail and complaints; Miriam and tzaraat.
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) — 241. A Torah word with the same number is אמר — “to say” (Genesis 1:3).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 25. A Torah word with the same number is כה — “thus, so” (Genesis 15:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 61. A Torah word with the same number is אני — “I” (Genesis 6:17).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 996.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40361.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 738. A Torah word with the same number is שחלת — “onycha” (Exodus 30:34).
The letters that come out are קמנגמס — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 293.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1821.
The number 241 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is דרושי שער הכוונות (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 241. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

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 דיטריח 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ד and ends with ח. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: דיטריח = 241. 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.
