The name Antal in Hebrew letters is אנטל. 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.
אנטל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנטל. The Hungarian form of Anthony, from the Roman family name Antonius, whose root is not known. The conductor Antal Doráti was born in Budapest in 1906. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 90 — the same as the Torah word מן, “from”. That number points to Torah page 90 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 10:32. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Antal” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אנטל. 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 אנטל gives 90.
90
The number 90 is the Torah word מן — «from» (Genesis 2:6).
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph'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) — 90. A Torah word with the same number is מן — “from” (Genesis 2:6).
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) — 36. A Torah word with the same number is אלה — “these” (Genesis 2:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 346. A Torah word with the same number is שום — “to put, set” (Genesis 2:8).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3482.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 202. A Torah word with the same number is רב — “many, great” (Genesis 6:5).
The letters that come out are תטנכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 479. A Torah word with the same number is העדת — “the Testimony” (Exodus 16:34).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 710. A Torah word with the same number is שית — “to put, set” (Genesis 3:15).
The number 90 appears in the classical books 36 times across 19 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 אנטל 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 אנטל these are א and ל. The Pentateuch has 11 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 10:32:
אלה משפחת בני נח לתולדתם בגויהם ומאלה נפרדו הגוים בארץ אחר המבול
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
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.
