מור
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מור. The name Mor comes from Hebrew: its root, the word mor, means “myrrh”. It is a name for girls and boys that is found mostly in Israel. This is its original Hebrew spelling. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 246 — the same as the Torah word מדבר, “wilderness”. That number points to Torah page 246 of 354 — in the portion Shlach. What that portion is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 19:22. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Mor” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מור. 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) — 246. A Torah word with the same number is מדבר — “wilderness” (Genesis 14:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 12. A Torah word with the same number is הוא — “he, it” (Genesis 2:11).
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) — 961.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 41636.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 332. A Torah word with the same number is לבש — “to put on, clothe” (Genesis 3:21).
The letters that come out are יפג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 93. A Torah word with the same number is צבא — “host, army” (Genesis 2:1).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 602. A Torah word with the same number is בתר — “he cut in two” (Genesis 15:10).

How to write Mor in Hebrew

Hebrew is written from right to left. מור has 3 letters: מ Mem, ו Vav, ר Resh. The first letter is Mem, the last is Resh.

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.

The name מור 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 מור these are מ and ר. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 19:22:
מהר המלט שמה כי לא אוכל לעשות דבר עד באך שמה על כן קרא שם העיר צוער
This is from the portion Vayera. What it is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah.

How it is counted

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.
