The name Ozni in Hebrew letters is אזני. 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.
אזני
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אזני. A Tanakh name: an Israelite; also his descendants (first in Numbers 26:16; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “having quick ears”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 68 — the same as the Torah word חלל, “to begin”. That number points to Torah page 68 of 354 — in the portion Vayeshev. What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 15:19. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Ozni” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אזני. 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 אזני gives 68.
68
The number 68 is the Torah word חלל — «to begin» (Genesis 4:26).
And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
This is from the portion Vayeshev. What it is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker.
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) — 68. A Torah word with the same number is חלל — “to begin” (Genesis 4:26).
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) — 279. A Torah word with the same number is וארבע — “and four” (Genesis 11:13).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2650.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 135. A Torah word with the same number is מצה — “unleavened bread” (Genesis 19:3).
The letters that come out are תעטמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 519. A Torah word with the same number is גשורי — “Geshurite” (Deuteronomy 3:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 304. A Torah word with the same number is חרמון — “Mount Hermon” (Deuteronomy 3:8).
The number 68 appears in the classical books 55 times across 26 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 אזני does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 16 times with prefixes — first in Γένεση 23:10.
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 אזני these are א and י. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 15:19:
את הקיני ואת הקנזי ואת הקדמני
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
«And Joseph found favour in his sight, and he ministered unto him. And he appointed him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.»
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.
