דריס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דריס. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 274 — the same as the Torah word עדר, “flock, herd”. That number points to Torah page 274 of 354 — in the portion Pinchas. What that portion is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Dris” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: דריס. 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 דריס gives 274.
274
The number 274 is the Torah word עדר — «flock, herd» (Genesis 29:2).
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before HaShem; at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.'
This is from the portion Pinchas. What it is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings.
The same number, 274, is given by these Tanakh names:
Mordecai מרדכי
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) — 274. A Torah word with the same number is עדר — “flock, herd” (Genesis 29:2).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 13. A Torah word with the same number is אחד — “one” (Genesis 1:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1115.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 43716.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 696. A Torah word with the same number is הארצת — “the lands” (Genesis 26:3).
The letters that come out are קגמח — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 151. A Torah word with the same number is קנא — “to envy, be jealous” (Genesis 26:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1084.
The number 274 appears in the classical books 24 times across 11 works. The earliest mention is ספר חסידים (~1200).

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 דריס 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 ס. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The name דריס has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 274 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.
