The name Evi in Hebrew letters is אוי. 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.
אוי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אוי. A Tanakh name: a Midianite chief (first in Numbers 31:8; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 17 — the same as the Torah word טוב, “good”. That number points to Torah page 17 of 354 — in the portion Noach. What that portion 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 verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 15:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Evi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אוי. 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 אוי gives 17.

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.

The letters that come out are תפמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 520. A Torah word with the same number is שכר — “wages, reward” (Genesis 15:1).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 143. A Torah word with the same number is צבאים — “Zeboiim, city of the plain” (Genesis 10:19).

את הקיני ואת הקנזי ואת הקדמני
