Noa — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Noa in Hebrew letters is נעה. 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.
נעה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נעה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 125 — the same as the Torah word ענה, “to eye or”. That number points to Torah page 125 of 354 — in the portion Yitro. What that portion is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Leviticus 22:8. 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 נעה gives 125.
125
The number 125 is the Torah word ענה — «to eye or» (Genesis 18:27).
The number 125, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 125 in the book of Shmot (Exodus). These are its opening words:
ממנו רב וגם הכהנים הנגשים אל יהוה יתקדשו …
The verse this place falls on is Shmot (Exodus) 19:21:
וַיֹּאמֶר ה׳ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה רֵד הָעֵד בָּעָם פֶּן־יֶהֶרְסוּ אֶל־ה׳ לִרְאוֹת וְנָפַל מִמֶּנּוּ רָב
And HaShem said unto Moses: 'Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto HaShem to gaze, and many of them perish.
This is from the portion Yitro. What it is about: Jethro's counsel on judges; standing at Sinai; the Ten Utterances; “you shall not make yourself an idol”.
The same number, 125, is given by these biblical names:
ענה · ידיעאל · נעה · הנע
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) — 125. A Torah word with the same number is ענה — “to eye or” (Genesis 18:27).
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) — 535.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7425.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 295. A Torah word with the same number is יריעה — “a hanging” (Exodus 26:1).
The word that comes out is טזצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 106. A Torah word with the same number is נון — “Nun or Non, the father of Joshua” (Exodus 33:11).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 242. A Torah word with the same number is אראלי — “Areli” (Genesis 46:16).
The number 125 appears in the classical books 10 times across 8 works. The earliest mention is ספר הפליאה (~1390).

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 נעה these are נ and ה. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Leviticus 22:8:
נבלה וטרפה לא יאכל לטמאה בה אני ה׳
This is from the portion Emor. What it is about: Laws of the priests; animals without blemish; the calendar of festivals — from the Sabbath to Sukkot; the lamp and the showbread.

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.
