The name Mahol in Hebrew letters is מחול. 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.
מחול
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מחול. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Kings 5:11; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “dancing”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 84 — the same as the Torah word ידע, “to know”. That number points to Torah page 84 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 6:3. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Mahol” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מחול. 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 מחול gives 84.
84
The number 84 is the Torah word ידע — «to know» (Genesis 3:5).
And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
This is from the portion Vayigash. What it is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen.
The same number, 84, is given by these Tanakh names:
Enoch חנוך
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) — 84. A Torah word with the same number is ידע — “to know” (Genesis 3:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “only, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 39. A Torah word with the same number is גאלה — “redemption” (Leviticus 25:24).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 307. A Torah word with the same number is רבקה — “Rebekah, wife of Isaac” (Genesis 22:23).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2600.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 226. A Torah word with the same number is צפון — “north” (Genesis 13:14).
The letters that come out are יספכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 170. A Torah word with the same number is ענן — “cloud” (Genesis 9:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 584. A Torah word with the same number is פקדת — “oversight of” (Numbers 3:32).

The name מחול 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 מחול these are מ and ל. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Numbers 6:3:
מיין ושכר יזיר חמץ יין וחמץ שכר לא ישתה וכל משרת ענבים לא ישתה וענבים לחים ויבשים לא יאכל
This is from the portion Naso. What it is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar.
«And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.»
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.
