Enoch Surname Meaning

English Welsh African American and African (mainly Nigeria): from the Middle English and Old French personal name Enoc (Enoch in the King James Bible), a Latinized rendering of Hebrew Ḥanok ‘experienced’ or ‘dedicated’. It was the name of a son of Cain and the father of Methuselah in the Book of Genesis (17 and 22) and the name of the author of three Books of the Apocrypha.

As a popular personal name among post-Reformation Nonconformists, it also gave rise to some late surname formations in Wales. The surname is relatively common in Wales, but much rarer in England, where it is concentrated on the Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border, usually in the form Enock.
