The name Hashabiah in Hebrew letters is חשביה. 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.
חשביה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is חשביה. A Tanakh name: the name of nine Israelites (first in Ezra 8:19; 15 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “God has regarded”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 325 — the same as the Torah word נערה, “girl, young woman”. That number points to Torah page 325 of 354 — in the portion Shoftim. What that portion is about: Judges and officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue”; the king and his scroll; cities of refuge; witnesses; laws of war. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 25:15. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Hashabiah” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: חשביה. 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.

325
The number 325 is the Torah word נערה — «girl, young woman» (Genesis 24:14).
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear HaShem his G-d, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
This is from the portion Shoftim. What it is about: Judges and officers; “justice, justice shall you pursue”; the king and his scroll; cities of refuge; witnesses; laws of war.
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) — 325. A Torah word with the same number is נערה — “girl, young woman” (Genesis 24:14).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 46. A Torah word with the same number is מאה — “hundred” (Genesis 5:3).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1204.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 90193.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1271.
The letters that come out are סבשמצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 492. A Torah word with the same number is סבלת — “burdens” (Exodus 6:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1216.
The number 325 appears in the classical books 4 times across 3 works. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים שער תיקון חצות (~1573).

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 חשביה 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 חשביה these are ח and ה. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 25:15:
חדד ותימא יטור נפיש וקדמה
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.
«And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear HaShem his G-d, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;»
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.
