The name Khilari in Hebrew letters is חילרי. 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.
חילרי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is חילרי. Hilary is a name of Latin origin. It comes from the word “hilaris”, which means “cheerful”. The name is used in Britain and the United States. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 258 — the same as the Torah word חרן, “Haran, city in Mesopotamia”. That number points to Torah page 258 of 354 — in the portion Chukat. What that portion is about: The red heifer; Miriam's death; water from the rock and the striking with the staff; Aaron's death; the bronze serpent. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 1 Samuel 21:16. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Khilari” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: חילרי. 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 חילרי gives 258.
258
The number 258 is the Torah word חרן — «Haran, city in Mesopotamia» (Genesis 11:31).
Whosoever toucheth the dead, even the body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself--he hath defiled the tabernacle of HaShem--that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water of sprinkling was not dashed against him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
This is from the portion Chukat. What it is about: The red heifer; Miriam's death; water from the rock and the striking with the staff; Aaron's death; the bronze serpent.
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) — 258. A Torah word with the same number is חרן — “Haran, city in Mesopotamia” (Genesis 11:31).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 60. A Torah word with the same number is ילך — “he will go” (Genesis 3:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1046.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 41164.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 580. A Torah word with the same number is שעיר — “hairy; male goat” (Genesis 27:11).
The letters that come out are סמכגמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 163. A Torah word with the same number is אצבע — “finger” (Exodus 8:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1042.
The number 258 appears in the classical books 5 times across 3 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning

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 חילרי 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ח and ends with י. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 33 such verses. The first of them is 1 Samuel 21:16:
חסר משגעים אני כי הבאתם את זה להשתגע עלי הזה יבוא אל ביתי
The name חילרי has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 258 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.
