The name Or in Hebrew letters is אור. 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.
אור
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אור. “Light.” The first thing created: “and God said, let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 207 — the same as the Torah word רבה, “to multiply”. That number points to Torah page 207 of 354 — in the portion Emor. What that portion is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 23:15. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Or” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אור. 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 אור gives 207.

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) — 207. A Torah word with the same number is רבה — “to multiply” (Genesis 1:22).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 9. A Torah word with the same number is בוא — “to come, enter” (Genesis 2:19).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 27. A Torah word with the same number is בכה — “to weep” (Genesis 21:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 817. A Torah word with the same number is אתתיו — “his signs” (Deuteronomy 11:3).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40037.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 215. A Torah word with the same number is ירה — “to cast, teach” (Genesis 31:51).
The letters that come out are תפג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 483.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 633. A Torah word with the same number is אזכרתה — “its memorial portion” (Leviticus 2:2).
The number 207 appears in the classical books 37 times across 22 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 אור appears in the Torah as a word 4 times. The first time is Genesis 1:3. Another 7 times it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
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 אור these are א and ר. The Pentateuch has 15 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 23:15:
אדני שמעני ארץ ארבע מאת שקל כסף ביני ובינך מה הוא ואת מתך קבר
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.
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.
