The name Parshandatha in Hebrew letters is פרשנדתא. 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.
פרשנדתא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרשנדתא. A Tanakh name: a son of Haman (first in Esther 9:7; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 1035. That number points to Torah page 327 of 354 — in the portion Shoftim. What that portion is about: Judges and officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue”; the king and his scroll; cities of refuge; witnesses; laws of war. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Leviticus 2:6. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Parshandatha” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פרשנדתא. 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 פרשנדתא gives 1035.

This is from the portion Shoftim. What it is about: Judges and officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue”; the king and his scroll; cities of refuge; witnesses; laws of war.
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) — 1035.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 27. A Torah word with the same number is בכה — “to weep” (Genesis 21:16).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 99. A Torah word with the same number is טמן — “to hide” (Genesis 35:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 3996.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 298917.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 4273.
The letters that come out are וגבטקאת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 521. A Torah word with the same number is שדיאור — “Shedeur, father of Elizur” (Numbers 1:5).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 2008.
The number 1035 appears in the classical books 3 times across 1 work. The earliest mention is מעשה רוקח על המשנה (~1740).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 1035. 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. פרשנדתא has 7 letters: פ Pe, ר Resh, ש Shin, נ Nun, ד Dalet, ת Tav, א Alef. The first letter is Pe, the last is Alef.
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 פרשנדתא 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 פרשנדתא these are פ and א. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Leviticus 2:6:
פתות אתה פתים ויצקת עליה שמן מנחה הוא
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.
The name פרשנדתא has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 1035 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.
