The name Nuria in Hebrew letters is נוריה. 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.
נוריה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is נוריה. Nuria is a Catalan name taken from the Valley of Núria in the Pyrenees, where a statue of the Virgin of Núria is kept. The name is most common in Catalonia and the rest of Spain. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 271. That number points to Torah page 271 of 354 — in the portion Pinchas. What that portion is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings. 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. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Nuria” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: נוריה. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name נוריה gives 271.

Other 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) — 271.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 55. A Torah word with the same number is הלך — “to go, walk” (Genesis 2:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1081.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 42661.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 899.
The letters that come out are טפגמצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 222. A Torah word with the same number is ברך — “to bless, kneel” (Genesis 1:22).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 654. A Torah word with the same number is תוגרמה — “Togarmah, son of Gomer” (Genesis 10:3).
The number 271 appears in the classical books 5 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is עולם אחד (~1480?).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 271. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. נוריה has 5 letters: נ Nun, ו Vav, ר Resh, י Yod, ה He. The first letter is Nun, the last is He.
For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name נוריה 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 נוריה 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.
The name נוריה has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 271 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
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.
