Katerina — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Katerina in Hebrew letters is קטרינה. 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.
קטרינה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קטרינה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 374 — the same as the Torah word עדש, “a lentil”. That number points to Torah page 20 of 354 — in the portion Lech Lecha. What that portion is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 13:17. 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 קטרינה gives 374.
374
The number 374 is the Torah word עדש — «a lentil» (Genesis 25:34).
The number 374, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 20 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
הוא קדש ויכו את כל שדה העמלקי וגם …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 14:7:
וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־עֵין מִשְׁפָּט הִוא קָדֵשׁ וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־כָּל־שְׂדֵה הָעֲמָלֵקִי וְגַם אֶת־הָאֱמֹרִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּחַצְצֹן תָּמָר
And they turned back, and came to En-mishpat--the same is Kadesh--and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
The same number, 374, is given by these biblical names:
כשדים
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) — 374. A Torah word with the same number is עדש — “a lentil” (Genesis 25:34).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 23.
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 77. A Torah word with the same number is עז — “a she-goat” (Genesis 15:9).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1700.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 52706.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1580.
The word that comes out is דנגמטצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 196. A Torah word with the same number is קוץ — “to be” (Genesis 27:46).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1247.
The number 374 appears in the classical books 3 times across 3 works. The earliest mention is נזיר ז ב.

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 קטרינה these are ק and ה. The Pentateuch has 14 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 13:17:
קום התהלך בארץ לארכה ולרחבה כי לך אתננה
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.

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.
