The baby name Enoch is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-nok (IPA: /ˈiːnək/; British: /ˈiːnɒk/).
Enoch is Hebrew in Origin.
Enoch derives from Hebrew Ḥănōḵ (חֲנוֹךְ), from the root ḥnk “to dedicate/initiate,” yielding meanings such as “dedicated,” “initiated,” or “trained.” In the Bible the name belongs to two figures: the antediluvian Enoch, son of Jared, who “walked with God” and was taken, and a son of Cain. The righteous Enoch inspired Second Temple writings known as the Book of Enoch and is honored in Jewish and Christian tradition; in Islamic exegesis he is often identified with the prophet Idris.
Used in English since the Reformation, Enoch found favor with Puritans and early American settlers, later ebbing yet persisting as a quiet classic with a recent vintage revival. International equivalents include Hanokh/Chanokh (Hebrew), Henoch (German, Polish), Enoc (Spanish), Enoque (Portuguese), Enok (Scandinavian), Enokh/Enok (Russian), Hénoch (French), and Henok (Ethiopian/Eritrean); Arabic renders the name as Akhnukh. Related biblical form Hanoch shares the same root.
