The name Jorge in Hebrew letters is חורחה. 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.
חורחה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is חורחה. The Spanish and Portuguese form of George, from the Greek word georgos, “farmer, one who works the land”. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 227 — the same as the Torah word זכר, “male”. That number points to Torah page 227 of 354 — in the portion Naso. What that portion is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 25:15. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jorge” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: חורחה. 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 חורחה gives 227.
227
The number 227 is the Torah word זכר — «male» (Genesis 1:27).
And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
This is from the portion Naso. What it is about: The sotah — the test of the wife; the nazirite; the priestly blessing; the gifts of the tribal chiefs for the dedication of the altar.
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) — 227. A Torah word with the same number is זכר — “male” (Genesis 1:27).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 47. A Torah word with the same number is אולי — “perhaps” (Genesis 16:2).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 903.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40189.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 685. A Torah word with the same number is עטרות — “Ataroth, town in Gilead” (Numbers 32:3).
The letters that come out are ספגסצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 293.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1364.
The number 227 appears in the classical books 20 times across 15 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name חורחה 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 חורחה these are ח and ה. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 25:15:
חדד ותימא יטור נפיש וקדמה
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.
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.
