The name Gohar in Hebrew letters is גוהר. 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.
גוהר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גוהר. Gohar is an Armenian name taken from the Persian word “gauhar”, which means “jewel, gem”. The Armenian opera singer Gohar Gasparyan was a well-known bearer. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 214 — the same as the Torah word ירד, “to go down”. That number points to Torah page 214 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 Joel 1:20. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Gohar” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: גוהר. 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 גוהר gives 214.
214
The number 214 is the Torah word ירד — «to go down» (Genesis 11:5).
And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto Me;
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.
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) — 214. A Torah word with the same number is ירד — “to go down” (Genesis 11:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 34. A Torah word with the same number is לבב — “heart” (Genesis 20:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 837. A Torah word with the same number is המשבצת — “the settings” (Exodus 28:14).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40070.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 240. A Torah word with the same number is ככר — “plain, talent, loaf” (Genesis 13:10).
The letters that come out are רפצג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 373. A Torah word with the same number is שגע — “to be driven mad” (Deuteronomy 28:34).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 611. A Torah word with the same number is תורה — “law, instruction” (Genesis 26:5).
The number 214 appears in the classical books 8 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is שער הכוונות (~1573).

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 גוהר 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ג and ends with ר. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 8 such verses. The first of them is Joel 1:20:
גם בהמות שדה תערוג אליך כי יבשו אפיקי מים ואש אכלה נאות המדבר
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.
