The Torah calls itself by that name (Deuteronomy ch.31). The word Torah means 'teachings'. The name is significance because the Torah teaches Jews how to live righteously.
The complete Jewish Bible is called the Tanach. The word Tanach is an acronym made from the names of its three sections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings).
