Rodrigo — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Rodrigo in Hebrew letters is רודריגו. 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.
רודריגו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is רודריגו. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 429 — the same as the Torah word משפט, “a verdict”. That number points to Torah page 75 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 Exodus 23:19. 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 רודריגו gives 429.
429
The number 429 is the Torah word משפט — «a verdict» (Genesis 18:19).
The number 429, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 75 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
האסרו ויבחנו דבריכם האמת אתכם ואם לא חי …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 42:16:
שִׁלְחוּ מִכֶּם אֶחָד וְיִקַּח אֶת־אֲחִיכֶם וְאַתֶּם הֵאָסְרוּ וְיִבָּחֲנוּ דִּבְרֵיכֶם הַאֱמֶת אִתְּכֶם וְאִם־לֹא חֵי פַרְעֹה כִּי מְרַגְּלִים אַתֶּם
Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you; or else, as Pharaoh liveth, surely ye are spies.'
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.
The same number, 429, is given by these biblical names:
משפט
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) — 429. A Torah word with the same number is משפט — “a verdict” (Genesis 18:19).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 24. A Torah word with the same number is חוי — “a Chivvite, one of the aboriginal tribes of…” (Genesis 10:17).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 69. A Torah word with the same number is אביון — “destitute” (Exodus 23:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1703.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 80197.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2298.
The word that comes out is גפקגמרפ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 506. A Torah word with the same number is שור — “a bullock” (Genesis 32:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1581.
The number 429 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים שער עולם העשיה (~1573).

Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, the day 861 of your life, the psalm by age, the attestations from 834 works — a PDF built the moment you pay.
The name רודריגו 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 רודריגו these are ר and ו. The Pentateuch has 6 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 23:19:
ראשית בכורי אדמתך תביא בית ה׳ אלהיך לא תבשל גדי בחלב אמו
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.
