Genesis 4:25-26 ESV
Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.” To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord.
Another son is born: Seth. This name carries the meanings of "compensation" and "seat of the body, or foundation". Seth would become the foundation of the lineage from which the Christ would come. Christ would be the foundation of the church, taking our place before the throne of judgment. He would become the compensation on our behalf for the penalty of sin.
Enosh means "man", with all the frailty implied that plagues a mortal man. It is understandable that men began to call upon the name of the Lord at this time.
