The name Azbuk in Hebrew letters is עזבוק. 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.
עזבוק
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עזבוק. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Nehemiah 3:16; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 185 — the same as the Torah word פנימה, “inside, inward”. That number points to Torah page 185 of 354 — in the portion Tazria. What that portion is about: The woman after childbirth; the laws of tzaraat on skin and garments — the signs and the priest's inspection. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Deuteronomy 9:2. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Azbuk” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: עזבוק. 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 עזבוק gives 185.
185
The number 185 is the Torah word פנימה — «inside, inward» (Leviticus 10:18).
But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
This is from the portion Tazria. What it is about: The woman after childbirth; the laws of tzaraat on skin and garments — the signs and the priest's inspection.
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) — 185. A Torah word with the same number is פנימה — “inside, inward” (Leviticus 10:18).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 50. A Torah word with the same number is כל — “all, every” (Genesis 1:21).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 972.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 14989.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 496. A Torah word with the same number is צרור — “bundle, pouch” (Genesis 42:35).
The letters that come out are זעשפד — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 461. A Torah word with the same number is איתן — “firm, enduring” (Genesis 49:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 807. A Torah word with the same number is תאות — “utmost bound of” (Genesis 49:26).
The number 185 appears in the classical books 13 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is דרושי שער הכוונות (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 185. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

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 עזבוק 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 עזבוק these are ע and ק. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Deuteronomy 9:2:
עם גדול ורם בני ענקים אשר אתה ידעת ואתה שמעת מי יתיצב לפני בני ענק
This is from the portion Eikev. What it is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema.
«But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.»
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.
