עזי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עזי. A Tanakh name: the name of six Israelites (first in Ezra 7:4; 11 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “strong”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 87 — the same as the Torah word נבלה, “carcass”. That number points to Torah page 87 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 26:5. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Uzzi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: עזי. 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.

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) — 87. A Torah word with the same number is נבלה — “carcass” (Leviticus 5:2).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 408. A Torah word with the same number is זאת — “this” (Genesis 2:23).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5049.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 234. A Torah word with the same number is יריחו — “Jericho” (Numbers 22:1).
The letters that come out are זעמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 117. A Torah word with the same number is אלוף — “chief” (Genesis 36:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 217. A Torah word with the same number is אורי — “Uri, father of Bezalel” (Exodus 31:2).

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 עזי these are ע and י. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 26:5:
עקב אשר שמע אברהם בקלי וישמר משמרתי מצותי חקותי ותורתי
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
«and said unto me: Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.»
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.
