Meaning: Seth, third son of Adam.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew שֵׁת (Sheth)

Usage: Seth is a proper noun used to refer to the third son of Adam and Eve, born after the murder of Abel by Cain. His name is often associated with the concept of "appointed" or "granted," as Eve considered him a replacement for Abel (Genesis 4:25).

Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Seth is significant as the progenitor of a line of descendants who were faithful to God, contrasting with the line of Cain. Seth's birth is seen as a continuation of God's promise and a renewal of hope for humanity after the tragedy of Abel's death. The Sethite line is notable for its piety and is traditionally seen as the lineage through which Noah, and subsequently Abraham, descended, leading to the nation of Israel and ultimately to Jesus Christ.
