About the name Enoch
Enoch comes from the Hebrew Chanokh, usually interpreted as ‘dedicated’ or ‘trained’. Enoch is a biblical figure known for his close relationship with God: the Book of Genesis says he ‘walked with God’ and then was no more, because God took him, which tradition reads as his being taken to heaven without dying. He is the father of Methuselah, and several apocryphal writings, including the Book of Enoch, are attributed to him. Genesis also names an earlier Enoch, son of Cain. English Puritans took up the name.
