The name Camilo in Hebrew letters is קמילו. 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.
קמילו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קמילו. From the Latin Camillus, a boy who helped at Roman religious rites; the word may be Etruscan. Common in Spain, Colombia and Chile. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 186 — the same as the Torah word מקום, “place”. That number points to Torah page 186 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 Genesis 21:18. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Camilo” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קמילו. 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 קמילו gives 186.
186
The number 186 is the Torah word מקום — «place» (Genesis 1:9).
then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
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) — 186. A Torah word with the same number is מקום — “place” (Genesis 1:9).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 60. A Torah word with the same number is ילך — “he will go” (Genesis 3:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 921.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12636.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 756. A Torah word with the same number is עופרת — “lead” (Exodus 15:10).
The letters that come out are דימכפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 154. A Torah word with the same number is נקד — “speckled” (Genesis 30:32).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 372. A Torah word with the same number is שבע — “seven” (Genesis 4:24).
The number 186 appears in the classical books 35 times across 19 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 קמילו 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 קמילו 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.

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.
