Mainly Welsh (not recorded before the 18th century): from the
Biblical personal name Enoch (Hebrew Chanoch
‘experienced’ or ‘dedicated’). This was the name borne in the Bible by
the eldest son of Cain (Genesis 4:17) and by the father of Methuselah
who was said to have ‘walked with God’ (Genesis 5:22). 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.
