קרלוס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קרלוס. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 396 — the same as the Torah word מכשול, “a stumbling-block, literally or figuratively”. That number points to Torah page 42 of 354 — in the portion Toldot. What that portion is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing. 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 קרלוס gives 396.
396
The number 396 is the Torah word מכשול — «a stumbling-block, literally or figuratively» (Leviticus 19:14).
The number 396, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 42 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
אשר חפרו בימי אברהם אביו ויסתמום פלשתים אחרי …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 26:18:
וַיָּשָׁב יִצְחָק וַיַּחְפֹּר אֶת־בְּאֵרֹת הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר חָפְרוּ בִּימֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיו וַיְסַתְּמוּם פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַחֲרֵי מוֹת אַבְרָהָם וַיִּקְרָא לָהֶן שֵׁמוֹת כַּשֵּׁמֹת אֲשֶׁר־קָרָא לָהֶן אָבִיו
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham; and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
The same number, 396, is given by these biblical names:
ספרוים · הושעיה · שונם
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) — 396. A Torah word with the same number is מכשול — “a stumbling-block, literally or figuratively” (Leviticus 19:14).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 18. A Torah word with the same number is חי — “alive” (Genesis 1:20).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 72. A Torah word with the same number is חסד — “kindness” (Genesis 19:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1771.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 54536.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1462.
The word that comes out is דגכפח. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 115. A Torah word with the same number is חזק — “to fasten upon” (Genesis 19:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 902.
The number 396 appears in the classical books 6 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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.
