"When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan." Genesis 5:9
According to the Qbible Kenan means possession. It seems like an odd name to give your son. Maybe it's not meaning possession the way we think of it - as a thing, something to be owned. Perhaps instead it's more like claiming kinship, saying, "this is my son and I'm proud of that." The Bible doesn't tell us anything about the character of Enosh or Kenan. All we know is that they were descendants of Adam and they lived really long lives.
