The name Filip in Hebrew letters is פיליף. 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.
פיליף
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פיליף. The name Filip comes from Greek philos + hippos, “friend of horses”. Philip II, king of Macedon in the 4th century BCE, was the father of Alexander the Great. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 210 — the same as the Torah word דור, “generation”. That number points to Torah page 210 of 354 — in the portion Behar. What that portion is about: “On the mountain”: the sabbatical year and the jubilee; the land is not sold forever; redemption of land and servants; the ban on interest. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 31:8. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Filip” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פיליף. 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 פיליף gives 210.
210
The number 210 is the Torah word דור — «generation» (Genesis 6:9).
And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.
This is from the portion Behar. What it is about: “On the mountain”: the sabbatical year and the jubilee; the land is not sold forever; redemption of land and servants; the ban on interest.
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) — 930.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “only, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 66. A Torah word with the same number is כמו — “like, as” (Genesis 19:15).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1025.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 13900.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 630. A Torah word with the same number is שלש — “three” (Genesis 50:23).
The letters that come out are ומכמו — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 112. A Torah word with the same number is יבק — “Jabbok river” (Genesis 32:23).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 276. A Torah word with the same number is עור — “skin” (Genesis 3:21).
The number 210 appears in the classical books 29 times across 21 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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.
