The name Toi in Hebrew letters is תעי. 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.
תעי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is תעי. A Tanakh name: an Aramean king (first in 2 Samuel 8:9; 5 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 480 — the same as the Torah word עדות, “testimony”. That number points to Torah page 126 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”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 2 Samuel 22:37. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Toi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: תעי. 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 תעי gives 480.
480
The number 480 is the Torah word עדות — «testimony» (Exodus 16:34).
And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.
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”.
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) — 480. A Torah word with the same number is עדות — “testimony” (Exodus 16:34).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 12. A Torah word with the same number is הוא — “he, it” (Genesis 2:11).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “ram's horn, jubilee” (Exodus 19:13).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1875.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 165000.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1350.
The letters that come out are אזמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “ram's horn, jubilee” (Exodus 19:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 556. A Torah word with the same number is מישור — “plain, tableland” (Deuteronomy 3:10).
The number 480 appears in the classical books 41 times across 18 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 480. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. תעי has 3 letters: ת Tav, ע Ayin, י Yod. The first letter is Tav, the last is Yod.
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 תעי 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 ת and ends with י. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 26 such verses. The first of them is 2 Samuel 22:37:
תרחיב צעדי תחתני ולא מעדו קרסלי
A verse whose whole sum equals your name
ובני דן חשים
Genesis 46:23 · 10 letters in the verse
All the letters of this verse add up to 480 — 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.
«And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the horn, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.»
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.
