The name Zaavan in Hebrew letters is זעון. 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.
זעון
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is זעון. A Tanakh name: an Edomite (first in Genesis 36:27; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 133. 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 Genesis 49:13. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Zaavan” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: זעון. 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.
This number is shared with 3 other name(s) out of the 2,980 in the index.
The number 133, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 133 in the book of Shmot (Exodus).
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 25:8:
וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם
And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
This is from the portion Terumah. What it is about: The offering for the Sanctuary; the Ark, the table and the lampstand; the Tabernacle and its curtains; the altar.
The same number, 133, is given by these Tanakh names:

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) — 783. A Torah word with the same number is השבעות — “the weeks” (Deuteronomy 16:16).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 25. A Torah word with the same number is כה — “thus, so” (Genesis 15:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 43. A Torah word with the same number is גם — “also” (Genesis 3:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 569. A Torah word with the same number is קטנתי — “I am unworthy” (Genesis 32:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7485.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 300. A Torah word with the same number is כפר — “to cover; atone” (Genesis 6:14).
The letters that come out are עזפט — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 166. A Torah word with the same number is עליון — “Most High” (Genesis 14:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 315. A Torah word with the same number is מערה — “cave” (Genesis 19:30).
The number 133 appears in the classical books 4 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

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 זעון does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 1 time with prefixes — first in Genesis 36:27.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For זעון these are ז and נ. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:13:
זבולן לחוף ימים ישכן והוא לחוף אניות וירכתו על צידן
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
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.
