אנז׳ליק
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנז׳ליק. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 198 — the same as the Torah word צחק, “to laugh”. That number points to Torah page 198 of 354 — in the portion Achrei Mot. What that portion is about: The service of Yom Kippur: two goats, the lot, the Holy of Holies; the prohibition of blood; the laws of forbidden unions. 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 “Angelique” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אנז׳ליק. 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 אנז׳ליק gives 198.
198
The number 198 is the Torah word צחק — «to laugh» (Genesis 17:17).
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.
This is from the portion Achrei Mot. What it is about: The service of Yom Kippur: two goats, the lot, the Holy of Holies; the prohibition of blood; the laws of forbidden unions.
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) — 198. A Torah word with the same number is צחק — “to laugh” (Genesis 17:17).
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) — 63. A Torah word with the same number is חנה — “to encamp” (Genesis 26:17).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 979.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 13550.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 494. A Torah word with the same number is פתוח — “engraving” (Exodus 28:11).
The letters that come out are תטעכמד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 543. A Torah word with the same number is מגרש — “pastureland” (Leviticus 25:34).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 564. A Torah word with the same number is כדרלעמר — “Chedorlaomer, king of Elam” (Genesis 14:1).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 198. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. אנז׳ליק has 6 letters: א Alef, נ Nun, ז Zayin, ל Lamed, י Yod, ק Qof. The first letter is Alef, the last is Qof.
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 אנז׳ליק 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 אנז׳ליק 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: אנז׳ליק = 198. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.»
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.
