Meaning
Seth is a masculine name of Hebrew origin traditionally interpreted as “placed” or “set.” In the Bible, Seth is the third named son of Adam and Eve and is presented as an ancestor of Noah. The name has a long history in Jewish and Christian traditions and became established in English-speaking communities through biblical naming practices. Seth's short spelling and straightforward pronunciation give it a simple, timeless character while preserving its ancient background. Some later Islamic traditions also recognize Seth, known as Shith in Arabic, although the English spelling Seth is primarily associated with biblical naming.
