The name Jetur in Hebrew letters is יטור. 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.
יטור
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יטור. A Tanakh name: a son of Ishmael (first in Genesis 25:15; 3 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 225 — the same as the Torah word כרה, “to dig”. That number points to Torah page 225 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 49:17. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jetur” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יטור. 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 יטור gives 225.
225
The number 225 is the Torah word כרה — «to dig» (Genesis 26:25).
and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.
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.
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) — 225. A Torah word with the same number is כרה — “to dig” (Genesis 26:25).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 45. A Torah word with the same number is מה — “what” (Genesis 2:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 916. A Torah word with the same number is תירוש — “new wine” (Genesis 27:28).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40217.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 279. A Torah word with the same number is וארבע — “and four” (Genesis 11:13).
The letters that come out are מנפג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 173. A Torah word with the same number is ספיחיה — “its aftergrowth” (Leviticus 25:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 961.
The number 225 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 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 יטור these are י and ר. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:17:
יהי דן נחש עלי דרך שפיפן עלי ארח הנשך עקבי סוס ויפל רכבו אחור
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
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.
