The name Joahaz in Hebrew letters is יואחז. 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.
יואחז
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יואחז. A Tanakh name: the name of two Israelites (first in 2 Kings 14:1; 4 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 32 — the same as the Torah word לב, “heart”. That number points to Torah page 32 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Joahaz” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יואחז. 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 יואחז gives 32.
32
The number 32 is the Torah word לב — «heart» (Genesis 6:5).
And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
This is from the portion Vayera. What it is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah.
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.
with finals and ordinal — 32. A Torah word with the same number is לב — “heart” (Genesis 6:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 141. A Torah word with the same number is צאן — “flock, sheep” (Genesis 4:2).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 250.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 100. A Torah word with the same number is על — “on, over” (Genesis 1:2).
The letters that come out are מפתסע — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 650. A Torah word with the same number is שלישי — “third” (Genesis 1:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 628. A Torah word with the same number is בכרתו — “his birthright” (Genesis 25:33).
The number 32 appears in the classical books 36 times across 24 works. The earliest mention is כל בו (~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 יואחז 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with י and ends with ז. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
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.
