Igor — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Igor in Hebrew letters is איגור. 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.
איגור
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is איגור. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 220 — the same as the Torah word טהור, “pure”. That number points to Torah page 220 of 354 — in the portion Bamidbar. What that portion is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 23:15. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name איגור gives 220.
220
The number 220 is the Torah word טהור — «pure» (Genesis 7:2).
The number 220, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 220 in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers). These are its opening words:
והם ישרתהו וסביב למשכן יחנו ובנסע המשכן יורידו …
The verse this place falls on is Bamidbar (Numbers) 1:50:
וְאַתָּה הַפְקֵד אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם עַל־מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת וְעַל כָּל־כֵּלָיו וְעַל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הֵמָּה יִשְׂאוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְאֶת־כָּל־כֵּלָיו וְהֵם יְשָׁרְתֻהוּ וְסָבִיב לַמִּשְׁכָּן יַחֲנוּ
but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
This is from the portion Bamidbar. What it is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service.
The same number, 220, is given by these biblical names:
ענק · יבחר · צלק · צפן
Nine 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) — 220. A Torah word with the same number is טהור — “pure” (Genesis 7:2).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 13. A Torah word with the same number is אחד — “united, i.e. one” (Genesis 1:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 40. A Torah word with the same number is חלב — “fat, whether literally or figuratively” (Genesis 4:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 878.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40146.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 266. A Torah word with the same number is סור — “to turn off” (Genesis 8:13).
The word that comes out is תמרפג. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 723.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 736. A Torah word with the same number is פתרון — “interpretation” (Genesis 40:5).
The number 220 appears in the classical books 5 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 איגור these are א and ר. The Pentateuch has 15 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 23:15:
אדני שמעני ארץ ארבע מאת שקל כסף ביני ובינך מה הוא ואת מתך קבר
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.

How it is counted
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.
