גרזיהלה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גרזיהלה. Graziela is a name of Latin origin. It comes from the word “gratia”, which means “grace”. The name is used in Brazil. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 260 — the same as the Torah word מכר, “to sell”. That number points to Torah page 260 of 354 — in the portion Chukat. What that portion is about: The red heifer; Miriam's death; water from the rock and the striking with the staff; Aaron's death; the bronze serpent. 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. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Graziela” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: גרזיהלה. 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.

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) — 260. A Torah word with the same number is מכר — “to sell” (Genesis 25:31).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 26. A Torah word with the same number is והיה — “and it became” (Genesis 2:10).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1019.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 41108.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1376. A Torah word with the same number is עשתרות — “Ashtaroth, city of Og” (Deuteronomy 1:4).
The letters that come out are רגעמצכצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 513. A Torah word with the same number is געתם — “Gatam, son of Eliphaz” (Genesis 36:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 766. A Torah word with the same number is ותישים — “and male goats” (Genesis 32:15).
The number 260 appears in the classical books 15 times across 8 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The name גרזיהלה 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 גרזיהלה 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.
The name גרזיהלה has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 260 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.
