גלינה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גלינה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 98 — the same as the Torah word סלח, “to forgive”. That number points to Torah page 98 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 32:16. 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 גלינה gives 98.
98
The number 98 is the Torah word סלח — «to forgive» (Exodus 34:9).
The number 98, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 98 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
ואחר באו משה ואהרן ויאמרו אל פרעה כה …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 5:1:
וְאַחַר בָּאוּ מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹה כֹּה־אָמַר ה׳ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שַׁלַּח אֶת־עַמִּי וְיָחֹגּוּ לִי בַּמִּדְבָּר
And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh: 'Thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.'
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
The same number, 98, is given by these biblical names:
עזיהו · צדד · נחם
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) — 98. A Torah word with the same number is סלח — “to forgive” (Exodus 34:9).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 44. A Torah word with the same number is ילד — “to bear young” (Genesis 3:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 376. A Torah word with the same number is עשו — “Esav, a son of Isaac, including his posterity” (Genesis 25:25).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3534.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 270. A Torah word with the same number is רע — “bad or” (Genesis 2:9).
The word that comes out is רכמטצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 359. A Torah word with the same number is נטש — “to pound, i.e. smite” (Genesis 31:28).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 289. A Torah word with the same number is פטר — “a fissure, i.e.” (Exodus 13:2).
The number 98 appears in the classical books 10 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 גלינה these are ג and ה. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 32:16:
גמלים מיניקות ובניהם שלשים פרות ארבעים ופרים עשרה אתנת עשרים ועירם עשרה
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.

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.
