The name Oksana in Hebrew letters is אוקסנה. 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.
אוקסנה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אוקסנה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 222 — the same as the Torah word ברך, “to kneel”. That number points to Torah page 222 of 354 — in the portion Bamidbar. What that portion is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 13:4. 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 אוקסנה gives 222.
222
The number 222 is the Torah word ברך — «to kneel» (Genesis 1:22).
The number 222, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 222 in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers). These are its opening words:
את משה בהר סיני ואלה שמות בני אהרן …
The verse this place falls on is Bamidbar (Numbers) 3:1:
וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדֹת אַהֲרֹן וּמֹשֶׁה בְּיוֹם דִּבֶּר ה׳ אֶת־מֹשֶׁה בְּהַר סִינָי
Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that HaShem spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
This is from the portion Bamidbar. What it is about: The census in the desert: 603,550 men; the order of the camps around the Tabernacle; the Levites and their service.
The same number, 222, is given by these biblical names:
אוריה · רכב · כבר · בכר
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) — 222. A Torah word with the same number is ברך — “to kneel” (Genesis 1:22).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 24. A Torah word with the same number is חוי — “a Chivvite, one of the aboriginal tribes of…” (Genesis 10:17).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 60. A Torah word with the same number is ילך — “to walk” (Genesis 3:14).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1082.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 16162.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 721.
The word that comes out is תפדחטצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 591. A Torah word with the same number is תקופה — “a revolution, i.e.” (Exodus 34:22).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 541. A Torah word with the same number is ישראל — “Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob” (Genesis 32:29).
The number 222 appears in the classical books 3 times across 1 work. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The name אוקסנה 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 אוקסנה these are א and ה. The Pentateuch has 49 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 13:4:
אל מקום המזבח אשר עשה שם בראשנה ויקרא שם אברם בשם ה׳
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.

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.
