אוליביה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אוליביה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 64 — the same as the Torah word נטה, “to stretch or spread out”. That number points to Torah page 64 of 354 — in the portion Vayeshev. What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. 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 אוליביה gives 64.
64
The number 64 is the Torah word נטה — «to stretch or spread out» (Genesis 12:8).
The number 64, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 64 in the book of Bereshit (Genesis). These are its opening words:
וישנאו אתו ולא יכלו דברו לשלם ויחלם יוסף …
The verse this place falls on is Bereshit (Genesis) 37:4:
וַיִּרְאוּ אֶחָיו כִּי־אֹתוֹ אָהַב אֲבִיהֶם מִכָּל־אֶחָיו וַיִּשְׂנְאוּ אֹתוֹ וְלֹא יָכְלוּ דַּבְּרוֹ לְשָׁלֹם
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
This is from the portion Vayeshev. What it is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker.
The same number, 64, is given by these biblical names:
הגוים · דני
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) — 64. A Torah word with the same number is נטה — “to stretch or spread out” (Genesis 12:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “a foreign nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 46. A Torah word with the same number is מאה — “a hundred” (Genesis 5:3).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 255. A Torah word with the same number is נהר — “a stream” (Genesis 2:10).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1166.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 264. A Torah word with the same number is ירדן — “Jarden, the principal river of Palestine” (Genesis 13:10).
The word that comes out is תפכמשמצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 970.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 655.
The number 64 appears in the classical books 11 times across 9 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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.
