The name Lyudmila in Hebrew letters is ליודמילה. 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.
ליודמילה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ליודמילה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 135 — the same as the Torah word מצה, “sweetness”. That number points to Torah page 135 of 354 — in the portion Terumah. What that portion is about: The offering for the Sanctuary; the Ark, the table and the lampstand; the Tabernacle and its curtains; the altar. 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 ליודמילה gives 135.
135
The number 135 is the Torah word מצה — «sweetness» (Genesis 19:3).
The number 135, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 135 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
האחת מקצה בחברת וכן תעשה בשפת היריעה הקיצונה …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 26:4:
וְעָשִׂיתָ לֻלְאֹת תְּכֵלֶת עַל שְׂפַת הַיְרִיעָה הָאֶחָת מִקָּצָה בַּחֹבָרֶת וְכֵן תַּעֲשֶׂה בִּשְׂפַת הַיְרִיעָה הַקִּיצוֹנָה בַּמַּחְבֶּרֶת הַשֵּׁנִית
And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the first set; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second set.
This is from the portion Terumah. What it is about: The offering for the Sanctuary; the Ark, the table and the lampstand; the Tabernacle and its curtains; the altar.
The same number, 135, is given by these biblical names:
מעכה · עמיהוד · טלמון · עניה
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) — 135. A Torah word with the same number is מצה — “sweetness” (Genesis 19:3).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 27. A Torah word with the same number is בכה — “to weep” (Genesis 21:16).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 72. A Torah word with the same number is חסד — “kindness” (Genesis 19:19).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 511. A Torah word with the same number is אסנת — “Asenath, the wife of Joseph” (Genesis 41:45).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 3677.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 621.
The word that comes out is כמפקימכצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 400. A Torah word with the same number is שנים — “two” (Genesis 1:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 720.
The number 135 appears in the classical books 22 times across 11 works. The earliest mention is מדרש לפירושים (~1450?).

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 ליודמילה 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.
