The name Timna in Hebrew letters is תמנע. 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.
תמנע
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is תמנע. A Tanakh name: name of two Edomites (first in Genesis 36:12; 6 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “restraint”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 560 — the same as the Torah word תמנע, “Timna, concubine of Eliphaz”. That number points to Torah page 206 of 354 — in the portion Emor. What that portion is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 13:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Timna” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: תמנע. 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 תמנע gives 560.
560
The number 560 is the Torah word תמנע — «Timna, concubine of Eliphaz» (Genesis 36:12).
And ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.
This is from the portion Emor. What it is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread.
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) — 560. A Torah word with the same number is תמנע — “Timna, concubine of Eliphaz” (Genesis 36:12).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 65. A Torah word with the same number is אדני — “my Lord” (Genesis 15:2).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2160.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 169000.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1890.
The letters that come out are איטז — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 27. A Torah word with the same number is בכה — “to weep” (Genesis 21:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 722. A Torah word with the same number is שכבת — “lying, intercourse” (Leviticus 18:20).
The number 560 appears in the classical books 5 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning

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 תמנע appears in the Torah as a word 3 times. The first time is التكوين 36:12. Another 1 time it stands with prefixes — “and”, “in”, “the”.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ת and ends with ע. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — there it has exactly one, Proverbs 13:19:
תאוה נהיה תערב לנפש ותועבת כסילים סור מרע
A verse whose whole sum equals your name
וידבר ה׳ אלי לאמר
Deuteronomy 2:17 · 16 letters in the verse
All the letters of this verse add up to 560 — exactly your name's number. The Pentateuch has 5,853 verses, and only 200 of them fall below 1000. Of the 2,980 names in our index, 80 match this way — about one name in thirty-seven.
The name תמנע has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 560 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.
