טיבדר
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is טיבדר. Tivadar is a Hungarian name for boys that comes from Greek: “theos” means “God” and “doron” means “gift”. Today this name is found mostly in Hungary. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 225 — the same as the Torah word כרה, “to dig”. That number points to Torah page 225 of 354 — in the portion Bamidbar. What that portion is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 8:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Tivadar” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: טיבדר. 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 טיבדר gives 225.
225
The number 225 is the Torah word כרה — «to dig» (Genesis 26:25).
and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.
This is from the portion Bamidbar. What it is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service.
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) — 225. A Torah word with the same number is כרה — “to dig” (Genesis 26:25).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “living” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 45. A Torah word with the same number is מה — “what” (Genesis 2:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 908. A Torah word with the same number is חרשת — “cutting, carving” (Exodus 31:5).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40201.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 299. A Torah word with the same number is הארגמן — “the purple” (Exodus 28:5).
The letters that come out are נמשקג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 493. A Torah word with the same number is הפתח — “the entrance” (Genesis 19:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1795.
The number 225 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name טיבדר does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ט and ends with ר. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 5 such verses. The first of them is Proverbs 8:19:
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.
