לסלו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לסלו. The name László comes from the Slavic languages: its root, the word Vladislav, means “to rule with glory”. It is a boy's name that is found mostly in Hungary. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 126. 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 Genesis 23:18. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Laslo” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לסלו. Spelled by the Academy of the Hebrew Language rules for foreign names. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name לסלו gives 126.

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.

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) — 126.
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) — 486. A Torah word with the same number is סכות — “Succoth” (Genesis 33:17).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5436.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 366. A Torah word with the same number is חשבון — “Heshbon, city of Sihon” (Numbers 21:25).
The letters that come out are כחכפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 128. A Torah word with the same number is חלץ — “to pull out, remove” (Leviticus 14:40).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 280. A Torah word with the same number is עיר — “city” (Genesis 4:17).
The number 126 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).
The name לסלו 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
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 לסלו these are ל and ו. The Pentateuch has 28 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 23:18:
לאברהם למקנה לעיני בני חת בכל באי שער עירו
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.

Half of all names have such a day.
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.
