Chanoch name meaning:
The name Chanoch, also spelled as Enoch in English, is of Hebrew origin and carries significant biblical and spiritual connotations. It means "dedicated" or "initiated." This name is derived from the Hebrew verb (חָנַךְ, chanak), which means to dedicate or initiate, often in the context of education or a spiritual journey. The name implies a person who is dedicated to learning, wisdom, and spiritual growth.
In the Bible, Chanoch (Enoch) is a notable figure, known for his righteousness and his unique destiny of being taken by God instead of experiencing death. This is described in Genesis 5:24, which contributes to the name's connotations of piety, devotion, and a special relationship with the divine. The name Chanoch is therefore popular in Jewish culture and among those who appreciate biblical names with strong spiritual meanings. It embodies a legacy of devotion and a life that is dedicated to higher purposes.
