The name Puah in Hebrew letters is פוה. 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.
פוה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פוה. A Tanakh name: the name of two Israelites (first in Genesis 46:13; 4 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 91 — the same as the Torah word מלאך, “messenger, angel”. That number points to Torah page 91 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Puah” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פוה. 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 פוה gives 91.

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) — 91. A Torah word with the same number is מלאך — “messenger, angel” (Genesis 16:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 28. A Torah word with the same number is כח — “strength” (Genesis 4:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 441. A Torah word with the same number is אמת — “truth, faithfulness” (Genesis 24:27).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 6461.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 257. A Torah word with the same number is ארון — “ark, coffin” (Genesis 50:26).
The letters that come out are ופצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 176. A Torah word with the same number is פוץ — “to scatter” (Genesis 10:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 99. A Torah word with the same number is טמן — “to hide” (Genesis 35:4).
The number 91 appears in the classical books 67 times across 32 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 91. 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. פוה has 3 letters: פ Pe, ו Vav, ה He. The first letter is Pe, the last is He.
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 פוה does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 2 times with prefixes — first in Genesis 46:13.
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 פוה these are פ and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:4:
פחז כמים אל תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph'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.
