Mia — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Mia in Hebrew letters is מיה. 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.
מיה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מיה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 55 — the same as the Torah word הלך, “to walk”. That number points to Torah page 55 of 354 — in the portion Vayetzei. What that portion is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 7:8. 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 מיה gives 55.
55
The number 55 is the Torah word הלך — «to walk» (Genesis 2:14).
The number 55, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 55 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
למקמו ויעקב הלך לדרכו ויפגעו בו מלאכי אלהים …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 32:1:
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם לָבָן בַּבֹּקֶר וַיְנַשֵּׁק לְבָנָיו וְלִבְנוֹתָיו וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶתְהֶם וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיָּשָׁב לָבָן לִמְקֹמוֹ
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
This is from the portion Vayetzei. What it is about: The dream of the ladder to heaven; Jacob with Laban: Leah and Rachel; eleven sons are born; the return.
The same number, 55, is given by these biblical names:
דומה · דליהו · אדן · נגב
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) — 55. A Torah word with the same number is הלך — “to walk” (Genesis 2:14).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 10. A Torah word with the same number is בדד — “separate” (Numbers 23:9).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 28. A Torah word with the same number is כח — “vigor, literally” (Genesis 4:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 215. A Torah word with the same number is ירה — “to flow as water” (Genesis 31:51).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1725.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 145. A Torah word with the same number is יפנה — “Jephunneh, the name of two Israelites” (Numbers 13:6).
The word that comes out is ימצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 140. A Torah word with the same number is מעל — “the upper part, used only adverbially with…” (Genesis 6:16).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 106. A Torah word with the same number is נון — “Nun or Non, the father of Joshua” (Exodus 33:11).
The number 55 appears in the classical books 14 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is ילקוט שמעוני (~1260).
The full message
Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, the day 861 of your life, the psalm by age, the attestations from 834 works — a PDF built the moment you pay.
The name מיה 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 מיה these are מ and ה. The Pentateuch has 16 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 7:8:
מן הבהמה הטהורה ומן הבהמה אשר איננה טהרה ומן העוף וכל אשר רמש על האדמה
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.

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.
