סתיו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סתיו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 476 — the same as the Torah word תמול, “ago, i.e. a”. That number points to Torah page 122 of 354 — in the portion Yitro. What that portion is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name סתיו gives 476.
476
The number 476 is the Torah word תמול — «ago, i.e. a» (Genesis 31:2).
The number 476, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 122 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
אשת משה אחר שלוחיה ואת שני בניה אשר …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 18:2:
וַיִּקַּח יִתְרוֹ חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה אֶת־צִפֹּרָה אֵשֶׁת מֹשֶׁה אַחַר שִׁלּוּחֶיהָ
And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her away,
This is from the portion Yitro. What it is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”.
The same number, 476, is given by these biblical names:
ידותון · תעו
Nine 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) — 476. A Torah word with the same number is תמול — “ago, i.e. a” (Genesis 31:2).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 53. A Torah word with the same number is אבן — “a stone” (Genesis 2:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1826.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 163736.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1466.
The word that comes out is חאמפ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 129. A Torah word with the same number is נטע — “to strike in, i.e. fix” (Genesis 2:8).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 558.
The number 476 appears in the classical books 8 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).

The verse of your name
There is no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with ס and ends with ו. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

How it is counted
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.
