The name Olympe in Hebrew letters is אולימפ. 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.
אולימפ
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אולימפ. The name comes from Greek “Olympos”, the mountain where the gods lived in Greek myths. The same root is in Olympia, where the ancient Games were held. This form of the name is used in France. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 167 — the same as the Torah word פנואל, “Penuel, place by the Jabbok”. That number points to Torah page 167 of 354 — in the portion Vayikra. What that portion is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 23:27. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Olympe” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אולימפ. 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 אולימפ gives 167.
167
The number 167 is the Torah word פנואל — «Penuel, place by the Jabbok» (Genesis 32:31).
And thou shalt bring the meal-offering that is made of these things unto HaShem; and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto the altar.
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
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) — 167. A Torah word with the same number is פנואל — “Penuel, place by the Jabbok” (Genesis 32:31).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 732. A Torah word with the same number is לשבת — “to dwell” (Genesis 13:6).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 9037.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 346. A Torah word with the same number is שום — “to put, set” (Genesis 2:8).
The letters that come out are תפכמיו — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 556. A Torah word with the same number is מישור — “plain, tableland” (Deuteronomy 3:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 378. A Torah word with the same number is שבוע — “week” (Genesis 29:27).
The number 167 appears in the classical books 4 times across 4 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 אולימפ 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 אולימפ these are א and פ. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 23:27:
את אימתי אשלח לפניך והמתי את כל העם אשר תבא בהם ונתתי את כל איביך אליך ערף
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
The name אולימפ has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 167 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.
