וילמה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is וילמה. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 91 — the same as the Torah word מלאך, “messenger, angel”. That number points to Torah page 91 of 354 — in the portion Vayechi. What that portion is about: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manasseh and all his sons; Jacob's death and burial in Hebron; Joseph's death. 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. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Vilma” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: וילמה. 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.

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) — 91. A Torah word with the same number is מלאך — “messenger, angel” (Genesis 16:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 46. A Torah word with the same number is מאה — “hundred” (Genesis 5:3).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 341. A Torah word with the same number is אשם — “guilt, guilt offering” (Genesis 26:10).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2661.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 245. A Torah word with the same number is מהר — “to hasten” (Genesis 18:6).
The letters that come out are פמכיצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 240. A Torah word with the same number is ככר — “plain, talent, loaf” (Genesis 13:10).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 192. A Torah word with the same number is קבץ — “to gather” (Genesis 41:35).
The number 91 appears in the classical books 67 times across 32 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name וילמה 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 וילמה 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.
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.
