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) — 213.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “poor, needy” (Exodus 23:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 853. A Torah word with the same number is המחתת — “the fire pans” (Exodus 38:3).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 10673.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 980. A Torah word with the same number is משמרת — “charge, watch” (Genesis 26:5).
The letters that come out are פטחחכתפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 605. A Torah word with the same number is ארפכשד — “Arpachshad, son of Shem” (Genesis 10:22).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 555. A Torah word with the same number is הנשר — “the eagle” (Leviticus 11:13).
The number 213 appears in the classical books 14 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).
The name ונססלאו 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 ונססלאו these are ו and ו. The Pentateuch has 548 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 2:18:
ויאמר ה׳ אלהים לא טוב היות האדם לבדו אעשה לו עזר כנגדו
This is from the portion Bereshit. What it is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah.
