לבון
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לבון. Levon is a name of Greek origin, from “leon”, which means “lion”. It is the Armenian form of Leon; Levon I was crowned king of Cilician Armenia in 1198. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 88 — the same as the Torah word נחל, “stream, wadi”. That number points to Torah page 88 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 5:7. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Levon” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לבון. 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.

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) — 738. A Torah word with the same number is שחלת — “onycha” (Exodus 30:34).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 34. A Torah word with the same number is לבב — “heart” (Genesis 20:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 324. A Torah word with the same number is כשד — “Kesed, son of Nahor” (Genesis 22:22).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3440.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 188. A Torah word with the same number is פקח — “to open” (Genesis 3:5).
The letters that come out are כשפט — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 409.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 604. A Torah word with the same number is צדקתי — “my righteousness” (Genesis 30:33).
The number 88 appears in the classical books 9 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name לבון 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 לבון these are ל and נ. The Pentateuch has 10 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 5:7:
לא תאספון לתת תבן לעם ללבן הלבנים כתמול שלשם הם ילכו וקששו להם תבן
