The name Lasha in Hebrew letters is לשה. 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.
לשה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לשה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 335 — the same as the Torah word שלה, “Shelah, son of Judah”. That number points to Torah page 335 of 354 — in the portion Ki Teitzei. What that portion is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 49:18. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Lasha” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לשה. 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 לשה gives 335.
335
The number 335 is the Torah word שלה — «Shelah, son of Judah» (Genesis 38:5).
In the same day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto HaShem and it be sin in thee.
This is from the portion Ki Teitzei. What it is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering 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) — 335. A Torah word with the same number is שלה — “Shelah, son of Judah” (Genesis 38:5).
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) — 38. A Torah word with the same number is גלה — “to uncover” (Genesis 9:21).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1215.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 90925.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 695. A Torah word with the same number is תרצה — “Tirzah, daughter of Zelophehad” (Numbers 26:33).
The letters that come out are כבצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 112. A Torah word with the same number is יבק — “Jabbok river” (Genesis 32:23).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 440. A Torah word with the same number is שמנים — “eighty” (Genesis 5:25).
The number 335 appears in the classical books 3 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is ציצים ופרחים (יעב"ץ) (~1750).

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 לשה appears in the Torah as a word 1 time. The first time is Numbers 15:11.
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 לשה these are ל and ה. The Pentateuch has 27 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 49:18:
לישועתך קויתי ה׳
This is from the portion Vayechi. What it is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death.
«In the same day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto HaShem and it be sin in thee.»
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.
