אנטון
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנטון. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 116 — the same as the Torah word נוס, “to flit, i.e. vanish away”. That number points to Torah page 116 of 354 — in the portion Beshalach. What that portion is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 36:27. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name אנטון gives 116.
116
The number 116 is the Torah word נוס — «to flit, i.e. vanish away» (Genesis 14:10).
The number 116, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 116 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
כי אני יהוה בהכבדי בפרעה ברכבו ובפרשיו ויסע …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 14:18:
וְיָדְעוּ מִצְרַיִם כִּי־אֲנִי ה׳ בְּהִכָּבְדִי בְּפַרְעֹה בְּרִכְבּוֹ וּבְפָרָשָׁיו
And the Egyptians shall know that I am HaShem, when I have gotten Me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.'
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
The same number, 116, is given by these biblical names:
סנאה · פול · כליון · כסלו
Nine 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) — 766.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 26.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 44. A Torah word with the same number is ילד — “to bear young” (Genesis 3:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 457. A Torah word with the same number is אתון — “a female donkey” (Genesis 12:16).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5118.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 294. A Torah word with the same number is ארגמן — “purple” (Exodus 25:4).
The word that comes out is תטנפט. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 548. A Torah word with the same number is מחצית — “a halving or the middle” (Exodus 30:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 754.
The number 116 appears in the classical books 20 times across 15 works. The earliest mention is דרושי שער הכוונות (~1573).

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 אנטון these are א and נ. The Pentateuch has 35 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 36:27:
אלה בני אצר בלהן וזעון ועקן
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.

How it is counted
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.
