יארופולק
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יארופולק. This name comes from the Slavic languages. Its source is the word or name jar, which means “strong, fierce”; it was borne by Prince Yaropolk I of Kyiv. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 433 — the same as the Torah word משפחה, “family, clan”. That number points to Torah page 79 of 354 — in the portion Miketz. What that portion is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 2 Kings 12:6. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Yaropolk” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יארופולק. 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) — 433. A Torah word with the same number is משפחה — “family, clan” (Genesis 8:19).
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) — 91. A Torah word with the same number is מלאך — “messenger, angel” (Genesis 16:7).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1998.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 57473.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1815.
The letters that come out are מתגפופכד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 633. A Torah word with the same number is אזכרתה — “its memorial portion” (Leviticus 2:2).

The name יארופולק 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 י and ends with ק. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 8 such verses. The first of them is 2 Kings 12:6:
יקחו להם הכהנים איש מאת מכרו והם יחזקו את בדק הבית לכל אשר ימצא שם בדק
