The name Ratmir in Hebrew letters is רטמיר. 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.
רטמיר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is רטמיר. Ratmir is a Slavic name made of rat, “war”, and mir, “peace”. Ratmir is a Khazar khan in Alexander Pushkin's poem Ruslan and Ludmila, published in 1820. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 459 — the same as the Torah word התמיד, “the continual”. That number points to Torah page 105 of 354 — in the portion Vaera. What that portion is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Deuteronomy 12:23. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Ratmir” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: רטמיר. 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 רטמיר gives 459.
459
The number 459 is the Torah word התמיד — «the continual» (Numbers 4:7).
And HaShem did according to the word of Moses; and He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.
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) — 459. A Torah word with the same number is התמיד — “the continual” (Numbers 4:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 72. A Torah word with the same number is חסד — “kindness, mercy” (Genesis 19:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1835.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 81781.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1376. A Torah word with the same number is עשתרות — “Ashtaroth, city of Og” (Deuteronomy 1:4).
The letters that come out are גנימג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 106. A Torah word with the same number is נון — “Nun, father of Joshua” (Exodus 33:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1539.
The number 459 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is ציצים ופרחים (יעב"ץ) (~1750).

The name רטמיר 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 רטמיר these are ר and ר. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Deuteronomy 12:23:
רק חזק לבלתי אכל הדם כי הדם הוא הנפש ולא תאכל הנפש עם הבשר
This is from the portion Re'eh. What it is about: “See”: blessing and curse; one place of worship; the tithe; permitted food; the three pilgrimage festivals.
«And HaShem did according to the word of Moses; and He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.»
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.
