The name Jamlech in Hebrew letters is ימלך. 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.
ימלך
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ימלך. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Chronicles 4:34; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “he will make king”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 100 — the same as the Torah word על, “on, over”. That number points to Torah page 100 of 354 — in the portion Vaera. What that portion is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 27:29. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jamlech” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ימלך. 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 ימלך gives 100.
100
The number 100 is the Torah word על — «on, over» (Genesis 1:2).
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am HaShem.'
This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.
The same number, 100, is given by these Tanakh names:
Michal מיכל
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) — 580. A Torah word with the same number is שעיר — “hairy; male goat” (Genesis 27:11).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 10. A Torah word with the same number is בדד — “alone” (Numbers 23:9).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 46. A Torah word with the same number is מאה — “hundred” (Genesis 5:3).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 380. A Torah word with the same number is מצרים — “Mizraim, Egypt” (Genesis 10:6).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3000.
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 מיכל — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 100. A Torah word with the same number is על — “on, over” (Genesis 1:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 274. A Torah word with the same number is עדר — “flock, herd” (Genesis 29:2).
The number 100 appears in the classical books 83 times across 54 works. The earliest mention is פירוש קדמון על ספר חסידים (~1200).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 100. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. ימלך has 4 letters: י Yod, מ Mem, ל Lamed, ך final Kaf. The first letter is Yod, the last is final Kaf.
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 ימלך appears in the Torah as a word 1 time. The first time is Γένεση 36:32. Another 8 times it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
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 ימלך these are י and כ. The Pentateuch has 11 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 27:29:
יעבדוך עמים וישתחו וישתחוו לך לאמים הוה גביר לאחיך וישתחוו לך בני אמך ארריך ארור ומברכיך ברוך
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
The name ימלך has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 100 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
