The name Kelsi in Hebrew letters is קלסי. 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.
קלסי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is קלסי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 200 — the same as the Torah word כנעני, “Canaanite”. That number points to Torah page 200 of 354 — in the portion Kedoshim. What that portion is about: “You shall be holy”: the corner of the field for the poor, honest scales, “love your neighbor as yourself”; honoring the elderly. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is 1 Kings 6:26. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Kelsi” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: קלסי. 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 קלסי gives 200.
200
The number 200 is the Torah word כנעני — «Canaanite» (Genesis 10:18).
But in the fifth year may ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you more richly the increase thereof: I am HaShem your G-d.
This is from the portion Kedoshim. What it is about: “You shall be holy”: the corner of the field for the poor, honest scales, “love your neighbor as yourself”; honoring the elderly.
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) — 200. A Torah word with the same number is כנעני — “Canaanite” (Genesis 10:18).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 11. A Torah word with the same number is חג — “festival” (Exodus 10:9).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 56. A Torah word with the same number is יום — “day” (Genesis 1:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1010. A Torah word with the same number is יתרת — “lobe of the liver” (Exodus 29:13).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 14600.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 620. A Torah word with the same number is עשרים — “twenty” (Genesis 6:3).
The letters that come out are דכחמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 72. A Torah word with the same number is חסד — “kindness, mercy” (Genesis 19:19).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 400. A Torah word with the same number is שנים — “two” (Genesis 1:16).
The number 200 appears in the classical books 14 times across 10 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

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 קלסי 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
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ק and ends with י. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 16 such verses. The first of them is 1 Kings 6:26:
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.
