The name Pileha in Hebrew letters is פלחא. 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.
פלחא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פלחא. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Nehemiah 10:25; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 119 — the same as the Torah word מעט, “a little, few”. That number points to Torah page 119 of 354 — in the portion Beshalach. What that portion is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Leviticus 2:6. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Pileha” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פלחא. 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.

119
The number 119 is the Torah word מעט — «a little, few» (Genesis 18:4).
And Moses said: 'This shall be, when HaShem shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that HaShem heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against HaShem.'
This is from the portion Beshalach. What it is about: The parting of the sea and the song of Moses and Miriam; manna and quail; water from the rock; the war with Amalek.
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) — 119. A Torah word with the same number is מעט — “a little, few” (Genesis 18:4).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 20. A Torah word with the same number is היה — “to be, become” (Genesis 1:2).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 38. A Torah word with the same number is גלה — “to uncover” (Genesis 9:21).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 547. A Torah word with the same number is משזר — “finely twisted” (Exodus 26:1).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7365.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 427. A Torah word with the same number is אותך — “you” (Genesis 17:2).
The letters that come out are וכסת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 486. A Torah word with the same number is סכות — “Succoth” (Genesis 33:17).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 684. A Torah word with the same number is תרדף — “you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20).
The number 119 appears in the classical books 8 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is ספר קרניים (~1400).

The name פלחא 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 פלחא these are פ and א. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Leviticus 2:6:
פתות אתה פתים ויצקת עליה שמן מנחה הוא
This is from the portion Vayikra. What it is about: “And He called”: the burnt, grain, peace, sin and guilt offerings — the order of the sacrifices.
«And Moses said: 'This shall be, when HaShem shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that HaShem heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against HaShem.'»
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.
