The name Charlie in Hebrew letters is צ'רלי. 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.
צ'רלי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is צ'רלי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 330 — the same as the Torah word צמר, “wool”. That number points to Torah page 330 of 354 — in the portion Ki Teitzei. What that portion is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek. 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 צ'רלי gives 330.
330
The number 330 is the Torah word צמר — «wool» (Leviticus 13:47).
The number 330, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 330 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy). These are its opening words:
ואת אמה ירח ימים ואחר כן תבוא אליה …
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 21:13:
וְהֵסִירָה אֶת־שִׂמְלַת שִׁבְיָהּ מֵעָלֶיהָ וְיָשְׁבָה בְּבֵיתֶךָ וּבָכְתָה אֶת־אָבִיהָ וְאֶת־אִמָּהּ יֶרַח יָמִים וְאַחַר כֵּן תָּבוֹא אֵלֶיהָ וּבְעַלְתָּהּ וְהָיְתָה לְךָ לְאִשָּׁה
and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month; and after that thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
This is from the portion Ki Teitzei. What it is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek.
The same number, 330, is given by these biblical names:
יערים · סנחריב · נסרך · פרים
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) — 330. A Torah word with the same number is צמר — “wool” (Leviticus 13:47).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow freely” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 60. A Torah word with the same number is ילך — “to walk” (Genesis 3:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1450.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 49100.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1030.
The word that comes out is הגכמ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to bore, i.e.” (Genesis 4:26).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 708.
The number 330 appears in the classical books 15 times across 13 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).
The full message
Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, the day 861 of your life, the psalm by age, the attestations from 834 works — a PDF built the moment you pay.
The name צ'רלי 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 no verse in the Pentateuch that begins with צ and ends with י. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.

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.
