His 2 names are a classic example of Hebrew/Yiddish forms of the same name.
Hebrew Root: It is the Yiddish vernacular form (kinnui) of the Hebrew name Chanoch (חֲנוֹךְ), which is rendered in English as Enoch.
Biblical Connection: The name connects to the biblical figure Enoch from the Book of Genesis (the great-grandfather of Noah), who is known for his righteousness and walking closely with God.
Usage: In Eastern European Jewish communities, Henach was traditionally used as an everyday secular or Yiddish name paired with the formal Hebrew name Chanoch.
