The name Frederick in Hebrew letters is פרדריק. 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.
פרדריק
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרדריק. English form of the Germanic Friedrich, made of “peace” and “ruler”. It was a name of Prussian kings and Holy Roman emperors. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 594 — the same as the Torah word צדקת, “righteousness of”. That number points to Torah page 240 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 “Frederick” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פרדריק. 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 פרדריק gives 594.
594

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

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) — 594. A Torah word with the same number is צדקת — “righteousness of” (Deuteronomy 33:21).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 90. A Torah word with the same number is מן — “from” (Genesis 2:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2655.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 96516.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2216.
The letters that come out are וגקגמד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 156. A Torah word with the same number is יוסף — “Joseph, son of Jacob” (Genesis 30:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1741.

The name פרדריק 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 פ and ends with ק. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The name פרדריק has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 594 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
