The name Robertus in Hebrew letters is רוברטוס. 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.
רוברטוס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is רוברטוס. The name comes from the old Germanic words “hrod”, “fame”, and “beraht”, “bright”. Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland in the 14th century, bore it. This form of the name is used in the Netherlands and Belgium. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 483. That number points to Torah page 129 of 354 — in the portion Mishpatim. What that portion is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Robertus” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: רוברטוס. 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 רוברטוס gives 483.
the oath of HaShem shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
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) — 483.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 78. A Torah word with the same number is לחם — “bread, food” (Genesis 3:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1935.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 83757.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2345.
The letters that come out are גפשגנפח — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 524. A Torah word with the same number is עתדים — “male goats” (Numbers 7:29).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1995.
The number 483 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is ליקוטי הלכות (~1840).

The name רוברטוס 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ר and ends with ס. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The name רוברטוס has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 483 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.
