The name Dvir in Hebrew letters is דביר. 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.
דביר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דביר. A Tanakh name: an Amorite king; also two places (first in Joshua 10:3; 11 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 216 — the same as the Torah word אזרח, “native”. That number points to Torah page 216 of 354 — in the portion Bechukotai. What that portion is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 1:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Dvir” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: דביר. 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 דביר gives 216.
216
The number 216 is the Torah word אזרח — «native» (Exodus 12:19).
And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto HaShem, all that any man giveth of such unto HaShem shall be holy.
This is from the portion Bechukotai. What it is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe.
The same number, 216, is given by these Tanakh names:

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) — 216. A Torah word with the same number is אזרח — “native” (Exodus 12:19).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 9. A Torah word with the same number is בוא — “to come, enter” (Genesis 2:19).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 36. A Torah word with the same number is אלה — “these” (Genesis 2:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 863.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40120.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 242. A Torah word with the same number is אראלי — “Areli, son of Gad” (Genesis 46:16).
The letters that come out are קשמג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 443. A Torah word with the same number is ביתאל — “Bethel” (Genesis 12:8).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1376. A Torah word with the same number is עשתרות — “Ashtaroth, city of Og” (Deuteronomy 1:4).
The number 216 appears in the classical books 82 times across 41 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).

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 דביר 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 דביר these are ד and ר. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 1:4:
דן ונפתלי גד ואשר
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.
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.
