Henoch is Hebrew, Polish in Origin.
Henoch is the German and Yiddish form of the biblical name Enoch, from Hebrew Ḥanokh/Chanokh (חֲנוֹךְ), derived from the root ḥ-n-k meaning “to dedicate, initiate, train,” also seen in chinukh (“education”). Through the Septuagint and Vulgate, the name entered European languages, and Luther’s Bible fixed the Henoch spelling in German.
Borne by two figures in Genesis - Enoch son of Jared, seventh from Adam, who “walked with God,” and Enoch son of Cain - the name gained resonance in Jewish and Christian tradition, including the apocryphal Book of Enoch (German Buch Henoch). Usage clustered in Reformation-era German-speaking lands and among Ashkenazi Jews from early modern times to the 20th century. Variants include Enoch (English), Hénoch (French), Enoc (Spanish/Catalan), Enoque (Portuguese), Enok (Scandinavian), and modern Hebrew Hanokh/Chanokh; Yiddish forms Henech/Henekh appear as diminutives.
