טבעות
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is טבעות. A Tanakh name: one of the temple servants (first in Ezra 2:43; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “rings”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 487 — the same as the Torah word זפת, “pitch”. That number points to Torah page 133 of 354 — in the portion Terumah. What that portion is about: The offering for the Sanctuary; the Ark, the table and the lampstand; the Tabernacle and its curtains; the altar. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 27:5. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Tabbaoth” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: טבעות. 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.

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) — 487. A Torah word with the same number is זפת — “pitch” (Exodus 2:3).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 28. A Torah word with the same number is כח — “strength” (Genesis 4:12).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 55. A Torah word with the same number is הלך — “to go, walk” (Genesis 2:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1889.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 165021.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 675. A Torah word with the same number is הסירת — “the pots” (Exodus 38:3).
The letters that come out are נשזפא — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 438. A Torah word with the same number is תובל — “Tubal, son of Japheth” (Genesis 10:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1379.

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 487. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
The name טבעות has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 487 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.
