Meaning & origin
Enock is a rare variant of the biblical name Enoch, which has been in steady but limited use in the United States since at least 1917, the year it first appeared in Social Security records. The name reached its highest rank of 7,194 in 2025, where it was given to roughly 1 in 155,280 boys, maintaining a stable trajectory over the past decade. Despite its deep biblical roots, Enock remains uncommon compared to its standard spelling, and its usage is spread thinly across the country, with no single state showing a concentration.
Enock is a variant spelling of Enoch, from the Hebrew name Henokh (חֲנוֹךְ), meaning 'dedicated' or 'initiated'. In the Old Testament, Enoch was the son of Jared and father of Methuselah, who was said to have 'walked with God' and was taken up to heaven without dying. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the Protestant Reformation, though Enock is a less common spelling.
