קלייטון
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קלייטון. Clayton is a name of English origin. It comes from the words “clay” and “tun”, which mean “clay” and “settlement”. The name is used in the United States. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 215 — the same as the Torah word ירה, “to cast, teach”. That number points to Torah page 215 of 354 — in the portion Bechukotai. What that portion is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Joshua 15:60. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Kleyton” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קלייטון. 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 קלייטון gives 215.
215
The number 215 is the Torah word ירה — «to cast, teach» (Genesis 31:51).
And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.
This is from the portion Bechukotai. What it is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe.
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) — 865.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 26. A Torah word with the same number is והיה — “and it became” (Genesis 2:10).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 80. A Torah word with the same number is עוד — “again, still” (Genesis 4:25).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1071.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 13717.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1059.
The letters that come out are דכממנפט — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 243. A Torah word with the same number is אברם — “Abram” (Genesis 11:26).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 837. A Torah word with the same number is המשבצת — “the settings” (Exodus 28:14).
The number 215 appears in the classical books 8 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The name קלייטון 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 ק and ends with נ. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 9 such verses. The first of them is Joshua 15:60:
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: קלייטון = 215. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.»
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.
