Enoch is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "to begin" or "to start," with a fascinating biblical history that links him to the seventh patriarch before the flood. Its short, strong sound gives it an ancient yet very modern feel, like that of a movie protagonist. It is not one of those names that are forgotten, but rather one that marks the beginning of something great.
Enoch is that person who arrives at the party and already knows everyone's name, without being intrusive. He has a calm but firm energy, like an oak tree that does not sway with the wind. He is loyal to the core and possesses the gift of truly listening, which makes him the ideal confidant of the group.

In love, Enoch does not play strange games or riddles. He seeks a real connection, where one can talk about everything and nothing at the same time. He is romantic in his own way: rather than roses, he gives presence and stability. When he chooses you, it is to stay, because his heart is as solid as his surname (if he has one).
It is not among the most common like Juan or Martín, but neither is it exotic; it has just the right point of distinction without being extravagant.
Enoch is strong on his own, but sometimes they call him "Eno" or "Coco" because of the ending, although he prefers to be called Enoch plain and simple.
