The name Caio in Hebrew letters is קאיו. 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.
קאיו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קאיו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 117 — the same as the Torah word אלוף, “chief”. That number points to Torah page 117 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 21:18. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Caio” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קאיו. 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 קאיו gives 117.
117
The number 117 is the Torah word אלוף — «chief» (Genesis 36:15).
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto HaShem, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto HaShem, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
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.
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) — 117. A Torah word with the same number is אלוף — “chief” (Genesis 36:15).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 9. A Torah word with the same number is בוא — “to come, enter” (Genesis 2:19).
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) — 672. A Torah word with the same number is תעבר — “you shall pass by” (Genesis 18:3).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 10137.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 429. A Torah word with the same number is משפט — “judgment, justice” (Genesis 18:19).
The letters that come out are דתמפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 524. A Torah word with the same number is עתדים — “male goats” (Numbers 7:29).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 329. A Torah word with the same number is וארבעים — “and forty” (Genesis 7:4).
The number 117 appears in the classical books 9 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

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 קאיו 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 קאיו these are ק and ו. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 21:18:
קומי שאי את הנער והחזיקי את ידך בו כי לגוי גדול אשימנו
This is from the portion Vayera. What it is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah.
«Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto HaShem, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto HaShem, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.»
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.
