Chanoch is Hebrew in Origin.
Chanoch (Hebrew חנוך, often transliterated Chanokh or Hanoch) stems from the Semitic root ḥ‑n‑k meaning “to dedicate, initiate, train,” the source also of Hanukkah. It therefore carries senses of “dedicated,” “initiated,” and “well‑trained,” with connotations of consecration and education.
In the Hebrew Bible the name is borne by several figures: Enoch (son of Jared), who “walked with God” and was taken; Hanoch son of Reuben, ancestor of the Hanochites; and a Midianite Hanoch. Through Greek and Latin transmission it became Enoch/Henoch, shaping Jewish, Christian, and Islamic lore (the Book of Enoch; traditional identification with the Qur’anic Idris). The name endured in Jewish usage - Yiddish Khonokh/Khonekh and modern Israeli Hanoch - while Christian Europe favored Enoch, with Henoch in German and Enoc/Enok in Romance and Nordic/Slavic contexts. Variant spellings today include Chanoch, Chanokh, Hanokh, Hanoch, Enoch, Henoch, Enoc, and Enok.
