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) — 179. A Torah word with the same number is מקלט — “refuge” (Numbers 35:6).

Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 784. A Torah word with the same number is מתושלח — “Methuselah, son of Enoch” (Genesis 5:21).

The name דיאמנטינה 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 דיאמנטינה these are ד and ה. The Pentateuch has 9 such verses. The first of them is Leviticus 4:2:
דבר אל בני ישראל לאמר נפש כי תחטא בשגגה מכל מצות ה׳ אשר לא תעשינה ועשה מאחת מהנה
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: דיאמנטינה = 179. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
