The name Malo in Hebrew letters is מאלו. 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.
מאלו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מאלו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 77 — the same as the Torah word עז, “she-goat”. That number points to Torah page 77 of 354 — in the portion Miketz. What that portion is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 7:2. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Malo” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מאלו. 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 מאלו gives 77.
77
The number 77 is the Torah word עז — «she-goat» (Genesis 15:9).
And Judah said unto Israel his father: 'Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
This is from the portion Miketz. What it is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack.
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) — 77. A Torah word with the same number is עז — “she-goat” (Genesis 15:9).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 32. A Torah word with the same number is לב — “heart” (Genesis 6:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 272. A Torah word with the same number is עבר — “to pass, cross over” (Genesis 8:1).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2537.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 229. A Torah word with the same number is הדרך — “the road” (Genesis 38:16).
The letters that come out are יתכפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 510. A Torah word with the same number is ירש — “to inherit, possess” (Genesis 15:3).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 277. A Torah word with the same number is זרע — “seed, offspring” (Genesis 1:11).
The number 77 appears in the classical books 6 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 77. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

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 מאלו 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 מאלו these are מ and ו. The Pentateuch has 5 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 7:2:
מכל הבהמה הטהורה תקח לך שבעה שבעה איש ואשתו ומן הבהמה אשר לא טהרה הוא שנים איש ואשתו
This is from the portion Noach. What it 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.
«And Judah said unto Israel his father: 'Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.»
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.
