Adam means "Man," Seth means "appointed," Enosh means "fatal injury," Cainan means "the promised one," Mahalalel means "praise God," Jared means "he shall descend," Enoch means "teaching," Methuselah means "his death shall bring," Lamech means "the despairing," and Noah means "comfort."
Eve called her son "Cain" saying, "I have gotten a man from the Lord" in Genesis 4:1 this is because she was harkening to the classical conditioning of God when he paired the stimulus of animal sacrifice with the words, "The seed of the woman will bruise the serpent." Enosh is the first man to do what Eve did by harkening to the Lord calling his son "Cainen."
The Message that are living words through men who live and breath and are also in the line that brings the righteous seed is "Man appointed fatal injury, the promised one. Praise God, he shall descend teaching his death shall bring the despairing comfort."
This is why it is said the righteous live by faith and they showed it by their religion of animal sacrifice. This outward act of animal sacrifice showed that they had repented of their sin in their heart offering their bodies as living sacrifices.

"The Quran is from a pedophile."
Thank you for that,
You mentioned allot of questions for Muslims, as if you know better than all of them,
You couldn't answer only one question, and you turned around the question, and you insult the Holly Quran for nothing,
The difference between Muslim and Christian, that when Muslim speak about Christendom he speaks with respect, But Christian says The "Quran is from a pedophile."

"You are bothering to try to deny the contents."
Which contents? If you can answer my question you may go farther with discussion, Else you know nothing about what you are saying, and this well be the end of discussion.

Even if what you say is true about these names have certain meanings, all that means is the WRITERS of this creation fable, picked names that followed the story line they wished to tell.
I see nothing magical going on here, anymore than a ScriptWriter's ability to pick certain names for their characters that would also fit a 'theme' in their storyline.
i.e. I think you're reading INTO all this, what you WISH to believe is there.

One other question...why does the naming of Cain mean that he is the one that will bruise the serpant? Where did you get that from? forgive my ignorance if it is obvious.
I just don't recall anything about Cain being the one that would bruise the serpants heel.

Great video. Gonna look into this.
But if Adam and Eve were the first humans...where did they learn language? What language did they learn? Who did they learn it from? Who says that these names meant those words at the time they were given to the children? in other words...did they give meaning to those names after the fact?
But the main question is...how did they learn language at all?

That was really good, praise Jesus!On top of the obvious gain of insight into the value of the meaning of the names in this geneology, I have gained some empathetic insight into the lives of these first humans who knew personally or had heard first hand testimony of the difference in the pre & post sin creation, and how desperately they wanted that right relationship restored.For some reason I had never thought about the way that their every moment and thought was probably flavored with longing.
