The name Innokentiy in Hebrew letters is אינוקנטי. 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.
אינוקנטי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אינוקנטי. Innokentiy is the Russian form of the Latin name Innocentius, from “innocens”, which means “harmless, innocent”. The actor Innokenty Smoktunovsky was a famous bearer. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 236 — the same as the Torah word כיור, “basin, laver”. That number points to Torah page 236 of 354 — in the portion Naso. What that portion is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 15:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Innokentiy” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אינוקנטי. 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 אינוקנטי gives 236.
236
The number 236 is the Torah word כיור — «basin, laver» (Exodus 30:18).
And when Moses went into the tent of meeting that He might speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from above the ark-cover that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and He spoke unto him.
This is from the portion Naso. What it is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar.
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) — 236. A Torah word with the same number is כיור — “basin, laver” (Exodus 30:18).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 83. A Torah word with the same number is חלילה — “far be it” (Genesis 18:25).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1162.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 15318.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 986.
The letters that come out are תמטפדטנמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 632. A Torah word with the same number is בכרתי — “my birthright” (Genesis 27:36).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 980. A Torah word with the same number is משמרת — “charge, watch” (Genesis 26:5).
The number 236 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).

The name אינוקנטי 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 אינוקנטי these are א and י. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 15:19:
את הקיני ואת הקנזי ואת הקדמני
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אינוקנטי = 236. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«And when Moses went into the tent of meeting that He might speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from above the ark-cover that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and He spoke unto him.»
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.
