הרמלינדה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is הרמלינדה. Hermelinda is a name of Germanic origin. It comes from the words “ermen” and “lind”, which mean “whole” and “gentle”. The name is used in Spain and Mexico. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 344. That number points to Torah page 344 of 354 — in the portion Ki Tavo. What that portion is about: “When you enter”: the first fruits and the declaration; the stones on Mount Ebal; blessings and admonitions. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 10:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Hermelinda” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: הרמלינדה. 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) — 344.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 29. A Torah word with the same number is דכה — “crushed” (Deuteronomy 23:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 83. A Torah word with the same number is חלילה — “far be it” (Genesis 18:25).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1335.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 45166.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2033.
The letters that come out are צגיכמטקצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 362. A Torah word with the same number is משכב — “bed” (Genesis 49:4).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1236.
The number 344 appears in the classical books 11 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 344. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. הרמלינדה has 8 letters: ה He, ר Resh, מ Mem, ל Lamed, י Yod, נ Nun, ד Dalet, ה He. The first letter is He, the last is He.

The name הרמלינדה 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 הרמלינדה these are ה and ה. The Pentateuch has 26 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 10:9:
הוא היה גבר ציד לפני ה׳ על כן יאמר כנמרד גבור ציד לפני ה׳
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
The name הרמלינדה has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 344 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.
