The Hebrew word "חֲנוֹךְ" (cha.nokh) is a proper name, specifically a personal name, with a strong definition of "Hanoch". This name appears four times in the Bible, indicating its significance within the narrative. The usage of "Hanoch" is limited to personal references, suggesting that it was a unique and distinctive name in the ancient Hebrew culture. This personal name may have held special meaning or significance for the individuals or communities that used it, but without further context, its specific meaning remains tied to its use as a proper name. Given its limited occurrences in the Bible, "Hanoch" does not appear to have a broader semantic domain or abstract meaning beyond its function as a personal name. Its significance lies in its association with the individuals or events in which it is mentioned, rather than any inherent meaning or concept.
