The name Saba in Hebrew letters is סבא. 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.
סבא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סבא. A Tanakh name: a son of Cush and the land of his descendants (first in Genesis 10:7; 4 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 63 — the same as the Torah word חנה, “to encamp”. That number points to Torah page 63 of 354 — in the portion Vayishlach. What that portion is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Saba” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: סבא. 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 סבא gives 63.
63
The number 63 is the Torah word חנה — «to encamp» (Genesis 26:17).
And these are the children of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran.
This is from the portion Vayishlach. What it is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death.
The same number, 63, is given by these Tanakh names:

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) — 63. A Torah word with the same number is חנה — “to encamp” (Genesis 26:17).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 9. A Torah word with the same number is בוא — “to come, enter” (Genesis 2:19).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 259. A Torah word with the same number is ראובן — “Reuben, son of Jacob” (Genesis 29:32).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3605.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 185. A Torah word with the same number is פנימה — “inside, inward” (Leviticus 10:18).
The letters that come out are חשת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 708.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 643. A Torah word with the same number is במראת — “in visions of” (Genesis 46:2).
The number 63 appears in the classical books 32 times across 19 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 63. 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. סבא has 3 letters: ס Samekh, ב Bet, א Alef. The first letter is Samekh, 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 סבא appears in the Torah as a word 1 time. The first time is Genesis 10:7. Another 1 time it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
The verse of your name
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ס and ends with א. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The name סבא has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 63 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.
