פבסניי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פבסניי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 212 — the same as the Torah word ריב, “quarrel, dispute”. That number points to Torah page 212 of 354 — in the portion Behar. What that portion is about: “On the mountain”: the sabbatical year and the jubilee; the land is not sold forever; redemption of land and servants; the ban on interest. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 25:11. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Pavsaniy” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פבסניי. 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 פבסניי gives 212.
212
The number 212 is the Torah word ריב — «quarrel, dispute» (Genesis 26:20).
And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
This is from the portion Behar. What it is about: “On the mountain”: the sabbatical year and the jubilee; the land is not sold forever; redemption of land and servants; the ban on interest.
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) — 212. A Torah word with the same number is ריב — “quarrel, dispute” (Genesis 26:20).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to begin” (Genesis 4:26).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 968.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12704.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 910. A Torah word with the same number is מתכנת — “quota, measure” (Exodus 5:8).
The letters that come out are ושחטממ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 403. A Torah word with the same number is גרר — “Gerar, Philistine city” (Genesis 10:19).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 759. A Torah word with the same number is והשלחתי — “and I will send” (Leviticus 26:22).
The number 212 appears in the classical books 7 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 פבסניי 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 פבסניי these are פ and י. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Numbers 25:11:
פינחס בן אלעזר בן אהרן הכהן השיב את חמתי מעל בני ישראל בקנאו את קנאתי בתוכם ולא כליתי את בני ישראל בקנאתי
This is from the portion Pinchas. What it is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: פבסניי = 212. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.»
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.
