The name Naser in Hebrew letters is נסר. 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.
נסר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נסר. The name Nasser comes from Arabic: its root, the word nasir, means “helper”. It is a boy's name that is found mostly in Arab countries. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 310 — the same as the Torah word חשב, “to reckon, think”. That number points to Torah page 310 of 354 — in the portion Eikev. What that portion is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:21. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Naser” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: נסר. 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 נסר gives 310.
310
The number 310 is the Torah word חשב — «to reckon, think» (Genesis 15:6).
And HaShem delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of G-d; and on them was written according to all the words, which HaShem spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
This is from the portion Eikev. What it is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema.
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) — 310. A Torah word with the same number is חשב — “to reckon, think” (Genesis 15:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 13. A Torah word with the same number is אחד — “one” (Genesis 1:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1245.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 46100.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 470. A Torah word with the same number is עת — “time” (Genesis 8:11).
The letters that come out are טחג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 736. A Torah word with the same number is פתרון — “interpretation” (Genesis 40:5).
The number 310 appears in the classical books 27 times across 16 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning

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 נסר 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 נסר these are נ and ר. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Genesis 49:21:
נפתלי אילה שלחה הנתן אמרי שפר
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
A verse whose whole sum equals your name
גד גדוד יגודנו והוא יגד עקב
Genesis 49:19 · 22 letters in the verse
All the letters of this verse add up to 310 — exactly your name's number. The Pentateuch has 5,853 verses, and only 200 of them fall below 1000. Of the 2,980 names in our index, 80 match this way — about one name in thirty-seven.
The name נסר has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 310 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.
