Enoch is the English biblical form of Hebrew חֲנוֹך (Ḥanoḵ), commonly glossed "dedicated," though ancient and modern scholars propose differing precise senses (see commonMeaning). It is used in Biblical, Biblical Latin, and Biblical Greek contexts as the name of the patriarch son of Jared and father of Methuselah, and separately as the name of a son of Cain in Genesis.

Why it works

  • English speakers will almost certainly pronounce it correctly on the first try

Real-world considerations

  • Spelling note: Enock.
  • Ancient and modern scholars disagree on the precise sense of the Hebrew root behind Enoch — proposed readings range from "dedicated"/"trained" to "your grace," "follower," "inaugurated," and "wise/clever" — so "dedicated" should be read as the most commonly cited gloss rather than a settled translation.
