"Enoch" means "dedicated" or "initiated," while "Irad" means "fugitive" or "wild." "Mehujael" translates to "smitten by God," "Methushael" means "man of God," and "Lamech" can mean "powerful" or "young." The names "Jabal," "Jubal," and "Tubal-Cain" reflect occupations: "Jabal" means "stream" (associated with livestock), "Jubal" means "to bring," (related to music), and "Tubal-Cain" translates to "the forger of metals."
