Freida — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Freida in Hebrew letters is פריידה. 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.
פריידה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פריידה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 309 — the same as the Torah word שדה, “a field”. That number points to Torah page 309 of 354 — in the portion Eikev. What that portion is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:4. 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 פריידה gives 309.
309
The number 309 is the Torah word שדה — «a field» (Genesis 2:5).
The number 309, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 309 in the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy). These are its opening words:
אחרים ועבדתם והשתחוית להם העדתי בכם היום כי …
The verse this place falls on is Devarim (Deuteronomy) 8:19:
וְהָיָה אִם־שָׁכֹחַ תִּשְׁכַּח אֶת־ה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהָלַכְתָּ אַחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַעֲבַדְתָּם וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִיתָ לָהֶם הַעִדֹתִי בָכֶם הַיּוֹם כִּי אָבֹד תֹּאבֵדוּן
And it shall be, if thou shalt forget HaShem thy G-d, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I forewarn you this day that ye shall surely perish.
This is from the portion Eikev. What it is about: “Because you will heed”: the land of seven fruits; the blessing after meals; manna as a test; the second paragraph of the Shema.
The same number, 309, is given by these Torah words:
שדה · אחרנים · אשוב · גשו
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) — 309. A Torah word with the same number is שדה — “a field” (Genesis 2:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “a particle of affirmation, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 66. A Torah word with the same number is כמו — “a form of the prefix 'k-', but used separately…” (Genesis 19:15).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1335.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 46641.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1563.
The word that comes out is וגממקצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 279.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1071.
The number 309 appears in the classical books 2 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is טור ברקת (~1650).

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 פריידה these are פ and ה. The Pentateuch has 17 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:4:
פחז כמים אל תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.

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.
