Hanokh

Hanokh is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, representing a traditional transliteration of the biblical name more commonly rendered as Enoch in English translations. In Hebrew, the name means "dedicated" or "consecrated." In biblical tradition, Enoch/Hanokh was a righteous man who "walked with God" and was taken to heaven without experiencing death. The name carries profound religious significance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. While rare in mainstream Western usage, Hanokh retains importance in Jewish communities, particularly among those maintaining traditional Hebrew naming conventions. The name's distinctive 'kh' ending reflects its authentic Hebrew pronunciation and gives it a strong cultural identity, appealing to parents seeking names with deep religious heritage and historical significance.
