עדי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is עדי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 84 — the same as the Torah word ידע, “to know”. That number points to Torah page 84 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. 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. There are no predictions or judgments here — only the text of the Torah and arithmetic you can check.
Adding up the letters of the name עדי gives 84.
84
The number 84 is the Torah word ידע — «to know» (Genesis 3:5).
The number 84, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 84 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
שבעים ואת יהודה שלח לפניו אל יוסף להורת …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 46:27:
וּבְנֵי יוֹסֵף אֲשֶׁר־יֻלַּד־לוֹ בְמִצְרַיִם נֶפֶשׁ שְׁנָיִם כָּל־הַנֶּפֶשׁ לְבֵית־יַעֲקֹב הַבָּאָה מִצְרַיְמָה שִׁבְעִים פ
And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
This is from the portion Vayigash. What it is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen.
The same number, 84, is given by these biblical names:
חנוך · עזגד · חמול · אבימאל
Nine 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) — 84. A Torah word with the same number is ידע — “to know” (Genesis 3:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 12. A Torah word with the same number is הוא — “she or it)” (Genesis 2:11).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 30. A Torah word with the same number is כי — “very widely used as a relative conjunction or…” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 390. A Torah word with the same number is שמן — “grease, especially liquid” (Genesis 28:18).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5016.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 228. A Torah word with the same number is בכור — “firstborn” (Genesis 10:15).
The word that comes out is זקמ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 147.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 584.
The number 84 appears in the classical books 24 times across 15 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 עדי 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.

How it is counted
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.
