ונדיקט
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ונדיקט. Venedikt is a Russian name for boys that comes from Latin: the word “benedictus” means “blessed”. Today this name is found mostly in Russia. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 179 — the same as the Torah word מקלט, “refuge”. That number points to Torah page 179 of 354 — in the portion Shmini. What that portion is about: The eighth day: Aaron's first service; fire from heaven; the death of Nadab and Abihu; clean and unclean animals. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 8:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Venedikt” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ונדיקט. 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) — 179. A Torah word with the same number is מקלט — “refuge” (Numbers 35:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 26. A Torah word with the same number is והיה — “and it became” (Genesis 2:10).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 921.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12733.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 541. A Torah word with the same number is ישראל — “Israel” (Genesis 32:29).
The letters that come out are פטקמדנ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 283. A Torah word with the same number is זכרון — “memorial” (Exodus 12:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1177.

The name ונדיקט 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 ונדיקט these are ו and ט. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 8:4:
ותנח התבה בחדש השביעי בשבעה עשר יום לחדש על הרי אררט
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: ונדיקט = 179. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
