Meaning & origin
Enoc is a Spanish variant of the biblical name Enoch, firmly rooted in Hebrew tradition. The name first appeared on U.S. records in 1955, and has been on a steady upward trajectory since 1987, reaching its peak rank of 2304 in 2025. Though still uncommon, with an incidence of 1 in 28,468, its quiet rise reflects growing appreciation for biblical names in Hispanic and broader communities. States with the highest usage include North Carolina, Florida, and Texas, where Spanish-influenced naming traditions are strong. Enoc remains a distinctive choice that balances religious heritage with modern rarity.
Enoc is a Spanish form of the biblical name Enoch, which derives from the Hebrew Ḥănōḵ, meaning 'dedicated' or 'initiated.' In the Old Testament, Enoch was the father of Methuselah and known for walking with God. The Spanish variant Enoc has been used in Hispanic communities, particularly in the United States, since the mid-20th century.
