Enosh, son of Seth and grandson of Adam; his birth marks when people began to call on YHWH's name.
A masculine proper name meaning 'man' or 'mortal' (from the root '-n-sh, denoting human frailty), designating the son of Seth and grandson of Adam. Enosh appears in the Genesis genealogies (Gen 4:26; 5:6-11) and in the Chronicler's lineage (1 Chr 1:1). His birth is associated with one of Scripture's most striking editorial notes: 'Then people began to call upon the name of YHWH' (Gen 4:26). German 'Enosch,' French 'Enosch,' and Spanish 'Enos' each adapt the sibilant ending differently, reflecting the name's antiquity.

1. Enosh — The proper name Enosh (meaning 'man, mortal'), designating the son of Seth born when Adam was 235 years old. His genealogical data spans Genesis 5:6-11 (birth, fathering Kenan, lifespan of 905 years, death), and he heads the post-Seth lineage in 1 Chronicles 1:1. Most significantly, Genesis 4:26 associates his birth with the beginning of public worship: 'Then people began to call upon the name of YHWH.' The name itself, from the root connoting human weakness, stands in poignant contrast to this spiritual milestone. 7×
