קונסטנקה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קונסטנקה. Constança is a personal name of Latin origin: it comes from the word constantia, which means “constancy”. Today this name is common in Portugal and in Brazil. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 380 — the same as the Torah word מצרים, “Mizraim, Egypt”. That number points to Torah page 26 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 13:17. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Constanca” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קונסטנקה. 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) — 380. A Torah word with the same number is מצרים — “Mizraim, Egypt” (Genesis 10:6).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 38. A Torah word with the same number is גלה — “to uncover” (Genesis 9:21).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 101. A Torah word with the same number is יצא — “to go out” (Genesis 1:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1916.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 28742.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1833.
The letters that come out are דפטחנטדצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 254. A Torah word with the same number is חמור — “donkey” (Genesis 12:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1141.
The number 380 appears in the classical books 13 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name קונסטנקה 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 קונסטנקה these are ק and ה. The Pentateuch has 14 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 13:17:
קום התהלך בארץ לארכה ולרחבה כי לך אתננה
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: קונסטנקה = 380. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
