Enock is Hebrew in Origin.

Enock is a spelling variant of Enoch, from Hebrew Ḥănōkh/Chanokh (חֲנוֹךְ), derived from the root ḥ-n-k “to dedicate, initiate, train.” The core meaning is “dedicated” or “initiated.” Through the Greek Henoch and Latin Enochus/Enoch, the name entered European languages and Christian tradition.

Two biblical bearers shaped its reception: Enoch, seventh from Adam, who “walked with God” and was taken up without dying, and another Enoch, a son of Cain; the influential Ethiopian Book of Enoch further preserved the name. English and colonial Puritan taste revived it in the 17th century, and the Enock spelling appears in early parish records. Today Enock is especially familiar in Anglophone Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe), reflecting missionary-era naming, while Enoch remains standard in English. International forms include Enok (Scandinavian), Enoc (Spanish/Catalan), Hénoc (French), Henoch (German/Polish), Enoque (Portuguese), and Henok (Amharic/Tigrinya).
