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) — 152. A Torah word with the same number is נקב — “to designate, pierce” (Genesis 30:28).

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 ויניסיו these are ו and ו. The Pentateuch has 548 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 2:18:
ויאמר ה׳ אלהים לא טוב היות האדם לבדו אעשה לו עזר כנגדו
This is from the portion Bereshit. What it is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: ויניסיו = 152. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.»
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.
