The name Julia in Hebrew letters is ז'וליה. 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.
ז'וליה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ז'וליה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 58 — the same as the Torah word נח, “Noach, the patriarch of the flood”. That number points to Torah page 58 of 354 — in the portion Vayishlach. What that portion 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 verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 30:13. 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 ז'וליה gives 58.
58
The number 58 is the Torah word נח — «Noach, the patriarch of the flood» (Genesis 5:29).
Chen, “grace”, is 58; Noach is the same letters, 58.
The number 58, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 58 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
מפדן ארם ויחן את פני העיר ויקן את …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 33:18:
וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב שָׁלֵם עִיר שְׁכֶם אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן בְּבֹאוֹ מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם וַיִּחַן אֶת־פְּנֵי הָעִיר
And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
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 same number, 58, is given by these biblical names:
נח · גדליהו · נבו · דדן
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) — 58. A Torah word with the same number is נח — “Noach, the patriarch of the flood” (Genesis 5:29).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “a unit, i.e.” (Genesis 13:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 40. A Torah word with the same number is חלב — “fat, whether literally or figuratively” (Genesis 4:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 224. A Torah word with the same number is דרך — “a road” (Genesis 3:24).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1110.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 174. A Torah word with the same number is עקד — “striped” (Genesis 30:35).
The word that comes out is עפכמצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 300. A Torah word with the same number is כפר — “to cover” (Genesis 6:14).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 179. A Torah word with the same number is מקלט — “an asylum” (Numbers 35:6).
The number 58 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name ז'וליה 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 ז'וליה these are ז and ה. The Pentateuch has 8 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 30:13:
זה יתנו כל העבר על הפקדים מחצית השקל בשקל הקדש עשרים גרה השקל מחצית השקל תרומה לה׳
This is from the portion Ki Tisa. What it is about: The half-shekel for the census; the golden calf and the broken tablets; the thirteen attributes of mercy; the second tablets.

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.
