עזיא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עזיא. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in 1 Chronicles 11:44; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 88 — the same as the Torah word נחל, “stream, wadi”. That number points to Torah page 88 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 29:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Uzzia” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: עזיא. 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.

Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 88. A Torah word with the same number is נחל — “stream, wadi” (Genesis 26:17).

The letters that come out are זעמת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 517. A Torah word with the same number is אשורי — “Asshurite” (Genesis 25:3).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 328. A Torah word with the same number is שכח — “to forget” (Genesis 27:45).

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 עזיא 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 עזיא these are ע and א. The Pentateuch has 7 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 29:9:
עודנו מדבר עמם ורחל באה עם הצאן אשר לאביה כי רעה הוא
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.
