The name Jeiel in Hebrew letters is יעיאל. 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.
יעיאל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יעיאל. A Tanakh name: the name of six Israelites (first in Ezra 8:13; 17 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 121 — the same as the Torah word אצל, “beside”. That number points to Torah page 121 of 354 — in the portion Beshalach. What that portion is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Deuteronomy 1:38. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jeiel” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יעיאל. 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.
Adding up the letters of the name יעיאל gives 121.
121
The number 121 is the Torah word אצל — «beside» (Genesis 39:10).
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said: 'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?'
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
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) — 121. A Torah word with the same number is אצל — “beside” (Genesis 39:10).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 13. A Torah word with the same number is אחד — “one” (Genesis 1:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 49. A Torah word with the same number is מואב — “Moab, son of Lot” (Genesis 19:37).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 541. A Torah word with the same number is ישראל — “Israel” (Genesis 32:29).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 6001.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 392. A Torah word with the same number is שביעי — “seventh” (Genesis 2:2).
The letters that come out are מזמתכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 507. A Torah word with the same number is שזר — “to twist” (Exodus 26:1).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 355. A Torah word with the same number is שנה — “year” (Genesis 1:14).
The number 121 appears in the classical books 3 times across 3 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning

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 יעיאל 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 יעיאל these are י and ל. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Deuteronomy 1:38:
יהושע בן נון העמד לפניך הוא יבא שמה אתו חזק כי הוא ינחלנה את ישראל
This is from the portion Devarim. What it is about: Moses begins his address in the plains of Moab: judges, spies, forty years of wandering, the victories over Sihon and Og.
«And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said: 'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?'»
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.
