The name Noah in Hebrew letters is נח. 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.
נח
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נח. “Rest, comfort” (Genesis 5:29). He built the ark and survived the flood; the rainbow became the sign of the covenant with him (Genesis 6–9). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 58 — the same as the Torah word נח, “Noah”. That number points to Torah page 58 of 354 — in the portion Vayishlach. What that portion is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Joshua 17:10. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Noah” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: נח. 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 נח gives 58.
58
The number 58 is the Torah word נח — «Noah» (Genesis 5:29).
And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
This is from the portion Vayishlach. What it is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death.
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) — 58. A Torah word with the same number is נח — “Noah” (Genesis 5:29).
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) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 231. A Torah word with the same number is וצפנה — “and northward” (Genesis 28:14).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2564.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 108. A Torah word with the same number is חק — “statute, allotted portion” (Genesis 47:22).
The letters that come out are טס — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “poor, needy” (Exodus 23:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 524. A Torah word with the same number is עתדים — “male goats” (Numbers 7:29).
The number 58 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 58. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. נח has 2 letters: נ Nun, ח Chet. The first letter is Nun, the last is Chet.
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 נח appears in the Torah as a word 37 times. The first time is Genesis 5:29. Another 4 times it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with נ and ends with ח. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 2 such verses. The first of them is Joshua 17:10:
נגבה לאפרים וצפונה למנשה ויהי הים גבולו ובאשר יפגעון מצפון וביששכר ממזרח
The name נח has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 58 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.
