The name Palti in Hebrew letters is פלטי. 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.
פלטי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פלטי. A Tanakh name: the name of two Israelites (first in Numbers 13:9; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “delivered”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 129 — the same as the Torah word נטע, “to plant”. That number points to Torah page 129 of 354 — in the portion Mishpatim. What that portion is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Numbers 25:11. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Palti” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פלטי. 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 פלטי gives 129.
129
The number 129 is the Torah word נטע — «to plant» (Genesis 2:8).
the oath of HaShem shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
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) — 129. A Torah word with the same number is נטע — “to plant” (Genesis 2:8).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 21. A Torah word with the same number is אך — “only, surely” (Genesis 7:23).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 48. A Torah word with the same number is יובל — “ram's horn, jubilee” (Exodus 19:13).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 610. A Torah word with the same number is יתר — “to remain over” (Genesis 30:36).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7481.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 438. A Torah word with the same number is תובל — “Tubal, son of Japheth” (Genesis 10:2).
The letters that come out are וכנמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 116. A Torah word with the same number is נוס — “to flee” (Genesis 14:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 594. A Torah word with the same number is צדקת — “righteousness of” (Deuteronomy 33:21).
The number 129 appears in the classical books 4 times across 3 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

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 פלטי these are פ and י. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Numbers 25:11:
פינחס בן אלעזר בן אהרן הכהן השיב את חמתי מעל בני ישראל בקנאו את קנאתי בתוכם ולא כליתי את בני ישראל בקנאתי
This is from the portion Pinchas. What it is about: The covenant of peace with Phinehas; the second census; the daughters of Zelophehad and inheritance; Joshua the successor; the festival offerings.
«the oath of HaShem shall be between them both, to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.»
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.
