Meaning and history

Enosh is a biblical masculine name from Hebrew Enosh, meaning “human being,” “mortal,” or “frail man.” In Genesis, Enosh is the son of Seth and grandson of Adam and Eve, placing him in the earliest biblical genealogy. The word’s emphasis on human mortality gives the name a reflective theological association. It is used in Hebrew-speaking and some Christian communities. Notable modern exact-name bearers are limited, so its biblical and linguistic history is the most reliable focus.
