The name Frantishka in Hebrew letters is פרנטישקה. 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.
פרנטישקה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרנטישקה. Františka is a personal name of Latin origin: it comes from the word Franciscus, which means “Frank, Frenchman”. Today this name is common in the Czech Republic. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 754 — the same as the Torah word ומשחת, “and you shall anoint”. That number points to Torah page 46 of 354 — in the portion Toldot. What that portion is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Frantishka” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פרנטישקה. 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 פרנטישקה gives 754.
754
The number 754 is the Torah word ומשחת — «and you shall anoint» (Exodus 28:41).
and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which G-d gave unto Abraham.'
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
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) — 754. A Torah word with the same number is ומשחת — “and you shall anoint” (Exodus 28:41).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 34. A Torah word with the same number is לבב — “heart” (Genesis 20:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 115. A Torah word with the same number is חזק — “to be strong, seize” (Genesis 19:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 3200.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 149106.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 3530.
The letters that come out are וגטנמבדצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 204. A Torah word with the same number is צדיק — “righteous” (Genesis 6:9).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1688.
The number 754 appears in the classical books 2 times across 1 work. The earliest mention is מעשה רוקח על המשנה (~1740).

The name פרנטישקה 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 פרנטישקה these are פ and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:4:
פחז כמים אל תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
The name פרנטישקה has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 754 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.
