מרגרט
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מרגרט. A name of Greek origin, from the word margarites, meaning “pearl”. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 452 — the same as the Torah word תבן, “straw”. That number points to Torah page 98 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 29:24. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Margaret” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מרגרט. 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 מרגרט gives 452.
452

And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh: 'Thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.'
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
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) — 452. A Torah word with the same number is תבן — “straw” (Genesis 24:25).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 65. A Torah word with the same number is אדני — “my Lord” (Genesis 15:2).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1786.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 81690.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1418.
The letters that come out are יגרגנ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 266. A Torah word with the same number is סור — “to turn aside” (Genesis 8:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1602.
The number 452 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is מגלה עמוקות (~1637).

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 מרגרט these are מ and ט. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Numbers 29:24:
מנחתם ונסכיהם לפרים לאילם ולכבשים במספרם כמשפט
This is from the portion Pinchas. What it is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings.
The name מרגרט has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 452 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.

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.
