The name Laercio in Hebrew letters is לאהרסיו. 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.
לאהרסיו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לאהרסיו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 312 — the same as the Torah word ישב, “to sit, dwell”. That number points to Torah page 312 of 354 — in the portion Eikev. What that portion is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 23:18. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Laercio” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לאהרסיו. 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 לאהרסיו gives 312.
312
The number 312 is the Torah word ישב — «to sit, dwell» (Genesis 4:16).
Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; HaShem is his inheritance, according as HaShem thy G-d spoke unto him.--
This is from the portion Eikev. What it is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema.
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) — 312. A Torah word with the same number is ישב — “to sit, dwell” (Genesis 4:16).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 24. A Torah word with the same number is חוי — “Hivite” (Genesis 10:17).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “poor, needy” (Exodus 23:6).
cumulative and building — 1247.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 44662.
The letters that come out are כתצגחמפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 641. A Torah word with the same number is תאמר — “you shall say” (Genesis 14:23).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 853. A Torah word with the same number is המחתת — “the fire pans” (Exodus 38:3).
The number 312 appears in the classical books 18 times across 14 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name לאהרסיו 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 לאהרסיו these are ל and ו. The Pentateuch has 28 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 23:18:
לאברהם למקנה לעיני בני חת בכל באי שער עירו
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.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: לאהרסיו = 312. 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.
