The name Hamul in Hebrew letters is חמול. 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.
חמול
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is חמול. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Genesis 46:12; 3 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “pitied”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 84 — the same as the Torah word ידע, “to know”. That number points to Torah page 84 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Judges 5:7. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Hamul” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: חמול. 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 חמול gives 84.
84
The number 84 is the Torah word ידע — «to know» (Genesis 3:5).
And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
This is from the portion Vayigash. What it is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen.
The same number, 84, is given by these Tanakh names:
Enoch חנוך
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) — 84. A Torah word with the same number is ידע — “to know” (Genesis 3:5).
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) — 39. A Torah word with the same number is גאלה — “redemption” (Leviticus 25:24).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 307. A Torah word with the same number is רבקה — “Rebekah, wife of Isaac” (Genesis 22:23).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2600.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 194. A Torah word with the same number is צדק — “righteousness, justice” (Leviticus 19:15).
The letters that come out are סיפכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 170. A Torah word with the same number is ענן — “cloud” (Genesis 9:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 584. A Torah word with the same number is פקדת — “oversight of” (Numbers 3:32).
The number 84 appears in the classical books 24 times across 15 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 חמול does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 2 times with prefixes — first in Genesis 46:12.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ח and ends with ל. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 5 such verses. The first of them is Judges 5:7:
חדלו פרזון בישראל חדלו עד שקמתי דבורה שקמתי אם בישראל
«And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.»
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.
