Lucia — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Lucia in Hebrew letters is לוסיה. 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.
לוסיה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לוסיה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 111 — the same as the Torah word אלף, “hence”. That number points to Torah page 111 of 354 — in the portion Bo. What that portion is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin. 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. 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 לוסיה gives 111.
111
The number 111 is the Torah word אלף — «hence» (Genesis 20:16).
The number 111, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 111 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
לדרתיכם חקת עולם תחגהו שבעת ימים מצות תאכלו …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 12:14:
וְהָיָה הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לָכֶם לְזִכָּרוֹן וְחַגֹּתֶם אֹתוֹ חַג לַה׳ לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם חֻקַּת עוֹלָם תְּחָגֻּהוּ
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to HaShem; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
This is from the portion Bo. What it is about: Locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn; the Passover lamb; the exodus from Egypt; the commandment of tefillin.
The same number, 111, is given by these biblical names:
יהויכין · דעואל · עלוה · קוה
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) — 111. A Torah word with the same number is אלף — “hence” (Genesis 20:16).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “a particle of affirmation, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “the blast of a horn” (Exodus 19:13).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 451. A Torah word with the same number is ישמעאל — “Jishmael, the name of Abraham's oldest son, and…” (Genesis 16:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 4661.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 379.
The word that comes out is כפחמצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 238. A Torah word with the same number is רחל — “Rachel, a wife of Jacob” (Genesis 29:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 232. A Torah word with the same number is בכרי — “a Bakrite” (Numbers 26:35).
The number 111 appears in the classical books 39 times across 24 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

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 לוסיה 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.

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.
