The name Elihoreph in Hebrew letters is אליחרף. 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.
אליחרף
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אליחרף. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Kings 4:3; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “God of autumn”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 329 — the same as the Torah word וארבעים, “and forty”. That number points to Torah page 329 of 354 — in the portion Shoftim. What that portion is about: Judges and officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue”; the king and his scroll; cities of refuge; witnesses; laws of war. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 23:27. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

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) — 1049.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to begin” (Genesis 4:26).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1397.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 47465.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 700. A Torah word with the same number is כפרת — “mercy seat, cover” (Exodus 25:17).
The letters that come out are תכמסגו — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 529. A Torah word with the same number is העתדים — “the male goats” (Genesis 31:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1214. A Torah word with the same number is קריתחצות — “Kiriath-huzoth, town in Moab” (Numbers 22:39).
The number 329 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name אליחרף 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 אליחרף these are א and פ. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 23:27:
את אימתי אשלח לפניך והמתי את כל העם אשר תבא בהם ונתתי את כל איביך אליך ערף
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אליחרף = 329. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
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.
