Luis — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Luis in Hebrew letters is לואיס. 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.
לואיס
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לואיס. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 107 — the same as the Torah word גלעד, “Gilad, a region East of the Jordan”. That number points to Torah page 107 of 354 — in the portion Vaera. What that portion is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 23:1. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name לואיס gives 107.
107
The number 107 is the Torah word גלעד — «Gilad, a region East of the Jordan» (Genesis 31:21).
The number 107, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 107 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
כי טרם תיראון מפני יהוה אלהים והפשתה והשערה …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 9:30:
וְאַתָּה וַעֲבָדֶיךָ יָדַעְתִּי כִּי טֶרֶם תִּירְאוּן מִפְּנֵי ה׳ אֱלֹהִים
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear HaShem G-d.'--
This is from the portion Vaera. What it is about: “And I appeared”: the promise of redemption in four expressions; the first seven plagues, from blood to hail.
The same number, 107, is given by these biblical names:
גלעד · אונן · בעלה · למואל
Nine 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) — 107. A Torah word with the same number is גלעד — “Gilad, a region East of the Jordan” (Genesis 31:21).
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 young” (Genesis 3:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 437. A Torah word with the same number is משבצה — “a brocade” (Exodus 28:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 4637.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 257. A Torah word with the same number is ארון — “a box” (Genesis 50:26).
The word that comes out is כפתמח. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 548. A Torah word with the same number is מחצית — “a halving or the middle” (Exodus 30:13).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 337.
The number 107 appears in the classical books 10 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name לואיס 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 לואיס these are ל and ס. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 23:1:
לא תשא שמע שוא אל תשת ידך עם רשע להית עד חמס
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.

How it is counted
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.
