פרסקוביה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרסקוביה. The name comes from Greek “paraskeue”, which means “preparation” and also “Friday”, the day before the Sabbath. It reached the Slavic lands from Byzantium. This form of the name is used in Russia. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 463. That number points to Torah page 109 of 354 — in the portion Bo. What that portion is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Praskovya” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פרסקוביה. Spelled by the Academy of the Hebrew Language rules for foreign names. 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) — 463.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 31. A Torah word with the same number is אל — “to, toward” (Genesis 1:9).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 94. A Torah word with the same number is צד — “side” (Genesis 6:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2144.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 60165.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2955.
The letters that come out are וגחדפשמצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 531. A Torah word with the same number is נתנאל — “Nethanel, chief of Issachar” (Numbers 1:8).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1347.
The number 463 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is שער הפסוקים (~1573).
The name פרסקוביה 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 פרסקוביה these are פ and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:4:
פחז כמים אל תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
