The name Enzo in Hebrew letters is אנזו. 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.
אנזו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אנזו. Italian name of uncertain origin. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 64 — the same as the Torah word נטה, “to stretch out, pitch”. That number points to Torah page 64 of 354 — in the portion Vayeshev. What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 9:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Enzo” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אנזו. 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 אנזו gives 64.
64
The number 64 is the Torah word נטה — «to stretch out, pitch» (Genesis 12:8).
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
This is from the portion Vayeshev. What it is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker.
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) — 64. A Torah word with the same number is נטה — “to stretch out, pitch” (Genesis 12:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 28. A Torah word with the same number is כח — “strength” (Genesis 4:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 245. A Torah word with the same number is מהר — “to hasten” (Genesis 18:6).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2586.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 174. A Torah word with the same number is עקד — “striped” (Genesis 30:35).
The letters that come out are תטעפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 559. A Torah word with the same number is גרשון — “Gershon, son of Levi” (Genesis 46:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 296. A Torah word with the same number is צור — “rock” (Exodus 17:6).
The number 64 appears in the classical books 11 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name אנזו 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 אנזו these are א and ו. The Pentateuch has 55 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 9:4:
אך בשר בנפשו דמו לא תאכלו
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
The name אנזו has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 64 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
