The name Leontiy in Hebrew letters is לאונטיי. 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.
לאונטיי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לאונטיי. Leontiy is a name of Greek origin, from “leon”, which means “lion”. The Byzantine emperor Leontios, who ruled from 695 to 698, had this name. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 116 — the same as the Torah word נוס, “to flee”. That number points to Torah page 116 of 354 — in the portion Beshalach. What that portion is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 20:3. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Leontiy” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לאונטיי. 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 לאונטיי gives 116.
116
The number 116 is the Torah word נוס — «to flee» (Genesis 14:10).
And the Egyptians shall know that I am HaShem, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
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) — 116. A Torah word with the same number is נוס — “to flee” (Genesis 14:10).
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) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 477. A Torah word with the same number is ותמלא — “and it was filled” (Genesis 6:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3718.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 503. A Torah word with the same number is גרש — “to drive out” (Genesis 3:24).
The letters that come out are כתפטנממ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 639. A Torah word with the same number is והתברכו — “and they shall be blessed” (Genesis 22:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 762.
The number 116 appears in the classical books 20 times across 15 works. The earliest mention is דרושי שער הכוונות (~1573).

The name לאונטיי 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
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 לאונטיי these are ל and י. The Pentateuch has 26 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 20:3:
לא יהיה לך אלהים אחרים על פני
This is from the portion Yitro. What it is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”.
The name לאונטיי has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 116 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.
