What is the meaning of the name Enok ?

The baby name Enok is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EH-nok (IPA: /ˈɛnək/).

Enok is Hebrew in Origin.

Enok is the Scandinavian form of Enoch, ultimately from Hebrew Hanokh, built on the root h-n-k “to dedicate/prepare,” giving the meaning “dedicated” or “initiated.” The name appears in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish parish records from the Reformation onward and has seen quiet, steady use into the 20th century; today it remains uncommon but familiar across the Nordic countries. In Finland and Estonia it also occurs via Finnic forms.

Variants and cognates include English Enoch; Hebrew Hanoch/Hanok; German and Polish Henoch; Spanish Enoc; Amharic and Tigrinya Henok; Finnish Eenokki/Enokki; and Estonian Eenok. The name’s enduring appeal draws on the biblical patriarch Enoch, father of Methuselah, who “walked with God” and was taken rather than dying - an association that lends Enok a quiet aura of piety and mystery while fitting comfortably with crisp, minimalist Nordic naming styles.
