אסטפניה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אסטפניה. Estefanía is a personal name of Greek origin: it comes from the word stephanos, which means “crown”. Today this name is common in Spain and in Latin America. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 215 — the same as the Torah word ירה, “to cast, teach”. That number points to Torah page 215 of 354 — in the portion Bechukotai. What that portion is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 13:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Estefania” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אסטפניה. 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 אסטפניה gives 215.
215
The number 215 is the Torah word ירה — «to cast, teach» (Genesis 31:51).
And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.
This is from the portion Bechukotai. What it is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe.
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) — 215. A Torah word with the same number is ירה — “to cast, teach” (Genesis 31:51).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 35. A Torah word with the same number is גבל — “to set bounds” (Exodus 19:12).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 71. A Torah word with the same number is מלא — “to fill” (Genesis 1:22).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 971.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 12707.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 907.
The letters that come out are תחנוטמצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 603. A Torah word with the same number is גתר — “Gether, son of Aram” (Genesis 10:23).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 863.
The number 215 appears in the classical books 8 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

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 אסטפניה 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 אסטפניה these are א and ה. The Pentateuch has 49 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 13:4:
אל מקום המזבח אשר עשה שם בראשנה ויקרא שם אברם בשם ה׳
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: אסטפניה = 215. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.»
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.
