In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לוגן. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 89 — the same as the Torah word טף, “a family”. That number points to Torah page 89 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 5:7. 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 לוגן gives 89.
89
The number 89 is the Torah word טף — «a family» (Genesis 34:29).
The number 89, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 89 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
על צידן יששכר חמר גרם רבץ בין המשפתים …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 49:13:
זְבוּלֻן לְחוֹף יַמִּים יִשְׁכֹּן וְהוּא לְחוֹף אֳנִיּוֹת וְיַרְכָתוֹ עַל־צִידֹן ס
Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
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.
The same number, 89, is given by these biblical names:
עדיה · גולן · מחולה · פדה
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) — 739.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 35. A Torah word with the same number is גבל — “to twist as arope” (Exodus 19:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 327. A Torah word with the same number is שכבה — “a lying down” (Exodus 16:13).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3445.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 194. A Torah word with the same number is צדק — “the right” (Leviticus 19:15).
The word that comes out is כפרט. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 309. A Torah word with the same number is שדה — “a field” (Genesis 2:5).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 275. A Torah word with the same number is רעה — “to tend a flock” (Genesis 4:2).
The number 89 appears in the classical books 11 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים שער ר"ח חנוכה ופורים (~1573).

The name לוגן 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 לוגן these are ל and נ. The Pentateuch has 10 such verses. The first of them is Exodus 5:7:
לא תאספון לתת תבן לעם ללבן הלבנים כתמול שלשם הם ילכו וקששו להם תבן
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.

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.
