The name Andranik in Hebrew letters is אנדרניק. 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.
אנדרניק
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנדרניק. An Armenian name from the word andranik, “firstborn, eldest”. General Andranik Ozanian, who lived from 1865 to 1927, is a national hero of Armenia. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 415 — the same as the Torah word מעשה, “work, deed”. That number points to Torah page 61 of 354 — in the portion Vayishlach. What that portion is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 31:53. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Andranik” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אנדרניק. 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.
Adding up the letters of the name אנדרניק gives 415.
415
The number 415 is the Torah word מעשה — «work, deed» (Genesis 5:29).
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the mid-wife said unto her: 'Fear not; for this also is a son for thee.'
This is from the portion Vayishlach. What it is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death.
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) — 415. A Torah word with the same number is מעשה — “work, deed” (Genesis 5:29).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 82. A Torah word with the same number is לבן — “Laban, brother of Rebekah” (Genesis 24:29).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1846.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 55117.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1397.
The letters that come out are תטקגטמד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 565. A Torah word with the same number is ושטרים — “and officers” (Deuteronomy 1:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1473.
The number 415 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is עולם אחד (~1480?).

The name אנדרניק 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 אנדרניק these are א and ק. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Genesis 31:53:
אלהי אברהם ואלהי נחור ישפטו בינינו אלהי אביהם וישבע יעקב בפחד אביו יצחק
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אנדרניק = 415. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
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.
