Initiated or dedicated (traditional Hebrew-root account)
Strong’s H2585 explicitly identifies the personal name Enoch with an initiated gloss and connects it to chanak. The Ancient Hebrew Research Center gives dedicated and the same Hebrew root. This is the documented traditional account, not a claim that all historical interpretations are settled or a judgment of a bearer’s training or devotion. The licensed trained gloss is not separately established here.
English form of Biblical Hebrew Hanokh, through Greek and Latin
The exact English entry records the Hebrew-to-Greek-to-Latin transmission; the native personal-name entry explicitly identifies English Enoch as an equivalent. This establishes the name route, not a literal trained/dedicated translation.

Recorded English readings of the biblical given name with different final vowels.
Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 35 · preliminary | 756 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Boys | 5 (rounded to 5) | 3872 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 40 | 811 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2025 | Boys | 5 | 560 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2025 | Boys | 3 | 829 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 348 | 746 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.

The cited Strong’s dictionary section supplies the exact biblical personal-name bridge. The AHRC name article separately explains the dedication root.
