The name Cristal in Hebrew letters is קריסטאל. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
קריסטאל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קריסטאל. The name Cristal comes from Greek krystallos, “ice, clear stone”. In Spanish and Portuguese the word cristal still means clear glass or a clear stone. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 410 — the same as the Torah word שמע, “to hear”. That number points to Torah page 56 of 354 — in the portion Vayishlach. What that portion is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 1 Samuel 2:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Cristal” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קריסטאל. 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.
Adding up the letters of the name קריסטאל gives 410.
410
The number 410 is the Torah word שמע — «to hear» (Genesis 3:8).
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants: 'Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.'
This is from the portion Vayishlach. What it is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death.
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) — 410. A Torah word with the same number is שמע — “to hear” (Genesis 3:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 86. A Torah word with the same number is אלהים — “God” (Genesis 1:1).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1851.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 54682.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2249.
The letters that come out are דגמחנתכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 525. A Torah word with the same number is שטריו — “its foremen” (Exodus 5:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1440.
The number 410 appears in the classical books 42 times across 24 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 410. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name קריסטאל 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ק and ends with ל. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 7 such verses. The first of them is 1 Samuel 2:4:
The name קריסטאל has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 410 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
