Valeria — the number of the name, the Torah page and the verse
The name Valeria in Hebrew letters is ולריה. 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.
ולריה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ולריה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 251 — the same as the Torah word אמרי, “an Emorite, one of the Canaanitish tribes”. That number points to Torah page 251 of 354 — in the portion Shlach. What that portion is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 1:29. 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 ולריה gives 251.
251
The number 251 is the Torah word אמרי — «an Emorite, one of the Canaanitish tribes» (Genesis 10:16).
The number 251, as the remainder modulo 354, points to Torah page 251 in the book of Bamidbar (Numbers). These are its opening words:
לכם לאלהים אני יהוה אלהיכם ויקח קרח בן …
The verse this place falls on is Bamidbar (Numbers) 15:41:
אֲנִי ה׳ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי ה׳ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם פ
I am HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your G-d: I am HaShem your G-d.'
This is from the portion Shlach. What it is about: The twelve spies; forty years for forty days; challah and tzitzit.
The same number, 251, is given by these biblical names:
ארן · אלצפן · אמרי · מורה
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) — 251. A Torah word with the same number is אמרי — “an Emorite, one of the Canaanitish tribes” (Genesis 10:16).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 17. A Torah word with the same number is טוב — “good” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 53. A Torah word with the same number is אבן — “a stone” (Genesis 2:12).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 991.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 41061.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 775.
The word that comes out is פכגמצ. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 233. A Torah word with the same number is רגל — “a foot” (Genesis 8:9).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 622.
The number 251 appears in the classical books 6 times across 6 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).
The full message
Every letter of the name explained, the words and namesakes with references, the Hebrew date, the letter and tribe of the month, the day 861 of your life, the psalm by age, the attestations from 834 works — a PDF built the moment you pay.
The name ולריה 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 ולריה these are ו and ה. The Pentateuch has 822 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 1:29:
ויאמר אלהים הנה נתתי לכם את כל עשב זרע זרע אשר על פני כל הארץ ואת כל העץ אשר בו פרי עץ זרע זרע לכם יהיה לאכלה
This is from the portion Bereshit. What it is about: Creation in six days and the Sabbath; Adam and Eve in the garden; Cain and Abel; ten generations to Noah.

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.
