The name Sandor in Hebrew letters is סנדור. 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.
סנדור
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סנדור. The name is a short form of Alexander, from Greek “alexo”, “to defend”, and “aner”, “man”. Alexander the Great, king of Macedon, made the name famous. This form of the name is used in Hungary. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 320 — the same as the Torah word נער, “young man, boy”. That number points to Torah page 320 of 354 — in the portion Re'eh. What that portion is about: “See”: blessing and curse; one place of worship; the tithe; permitted food; the three pilgrimage festivals. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Psalms 111:8. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Sandor” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: סנדור. 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 סנדור gives 320.
320
The number 320 is the Torah word נער — «young man, boy» (Genesis 14:24).
And thou shalt eat before HaShem thy G-d, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear HaShem thy G-d always.
This is from the portion Re'eh. What it is about: “See”: blessing and curse; one place of worship; the tithe; permitted food; the three pilgrimage festivals.
The same number, 320, is given by these Tanakh names:

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) — 320. A Torah word with the same number is נער — “young man, boy” (Genesis 14:24).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1276.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 46152.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 724. A Torah word with the same number is תרחיקו — “you shall go far” (Exodus 8:24).
The letters that come out are חטקפג — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 200. A Torah word with the same number is כנעני — “Canaanite” (Genesis 10:18).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1182.
The number 320 appears in the classical books 27 times across 14 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 320. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. סנדור has 5 letters: ס Samekh, נ Nun, ד Dalet, ו Vav, ר Resh. The first letter is Samekh, the last is Resh.
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 סנדור 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ס and ends with ר. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 2 such verses. The first of them is Psalms 111:8:
«And thou shalt eat before HaShem thy G-d, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear HaShem thy G-d always.»
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.
