The name Shimronites in Hebrew letters is שמרני. 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.
שמרני
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is שמרני. A Tanakh name: descendants of Shimron (first in Numbers 26:24; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 600 — the same as the Torah word שש, “six”. That number points to Torah page 246 of 354 — in the portion Shlach. What that portion is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 12:15. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Shimronites” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: שמרני. 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 שמרני gives 600.
600
The number 600 is the Torah word שש — «six» (Genesis 7:6).
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
This is from the portion Shlach. What it is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit.
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) — 600. A Torah word with the same number is שש — “six” (Genesis 7:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
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) — 2285.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 134200.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2370.
The letters that come out are ביגטמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 64. A Torah word with the same number is נטה — “to stretch out, pitch” (Genesis 12:8).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1076.
The number 600 appears in the classical books 19 times across 12 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name שמרני does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 1 time with prefixes — first in Numbers 26:24.
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 שמרני these are ש and י. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 12:15:
שבעת ימים מצות תאכלו אך ביום הראשון תשביתו שאר מבתיכם כי כל אכל חמץ ונכרתה הנפש ההוא מישראל מיום הראשן עד יום השבעי
This is from the portion Bo. What it is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin.

The name שמרני has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 600 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.

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.
