עוז
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עוז. A Hebrew name, עוז, meaning “strength” or “might”. The word occurs many times in the Tanakh, especially in Psalms; as a first name it is modern. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 83 — the same as the Torah word חלילה, “far be it”. That number points to Torah page 83 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Psalms 119:127. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

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) — 83. A Torah word with the same number is חלילה — “far be it” (Genesis 18:25).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).

Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 4985.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 229. A Torah word with the same number is הדרך — “the road” (Genesis 38:16).
