Diego — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Diego in Hebrew letters is דייגו. 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.
דייגו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is דייגו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 33 — the same as the Torah word גל, “something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung”. That number points to Torah page 33 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 8:23. 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 דייגו gives 33.
33
The number 33 is the Torah word גל — «something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung» (Genesis 31:46).
The number 33, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 33 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
ממעל לעצים וישלח אברהם את ידו ויקח את …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 22:9:
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר־לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּבֶן שָׁם אַבְרָהָם אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיַּעֲרֹךְ אֶת־הָעֵצִים וַיַּעֲקֹד אֶת־יִצְחָק בְּנוֹ וַיָּשֶׂם אֹתוֹ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ מִמַּעַל לָעֵצִים
And they came to the place which G-d had told him of; and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
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.
The same number, 33, is given by these biblical names:
אבל · לבא · ידידה · יחיה
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) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung” (Genesis 31:46).
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) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “something rolled, i.e. a heap of stone or dung” (Genesis 31:46).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 147.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 261. A Torah word with the same number is אסר — “to yoke or hitch” (Genesis 39:20).
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 102. A Torah word with the same number is בעל — “a master” (Genesis 14:13).
The word that comes out is קממרפ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 460. A Torah word with the same number is יקשן — “Jokshan, an Arabian patriarch” (Genesis 25:2).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 569.
The number 33 appears in the classical books 7 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is שיטה מקובצת על הש"ס (~1550).
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 דייגו 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 דייגו these are ד and ו. The Pentateuch has 5 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 8:23:
דרך שלשת ימים נלך במדבר וזבחנו לה׳ אלהינו כאשר יאמר אלינו
This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.

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.
