ענבל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ענבל. A Hebrew name, ענבל: the small tongue inside a bell that makes it ring. It is a modern Israeli name for girls. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 152 — the same as the Torah word נקב, “to designate, pierce”. That number points to Torah page 152 of 354 — in the portion Ki Tisa. What that portion is about: The half-shekel for the census; the golden calf and the broken tablets; the thirteen attributes of mercy; the second tablets. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 21:24. 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) — 152. A Torah word with the same number is נקב — “to designate, pierce” (Genesis 30:28).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 44. A Torah word with the same number is ילד — “to bear, give birth” (Genesis 3:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 628. A Torah word with the same number is בכרתו — “his birthright” (Genesis 25:33).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 8304.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 464. A Torah word with the same number is ובנות — “and daughters” (Genesis 5:4).
The letters that come out are זטשכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 336. A Torah word with the same number is שול — “hem, skirt” (Exodus 28:33).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 722. A Torah word with the same number is שכבת — “lying, intercourse” (Leviticus 18:20).

The name ענבל 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 ענבל these are ע and ל. The Pentateuch has 4 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 21:24:
עין תחת עין שן תחת שן יד תחת יד רגל תחת רגל
