Lamech 
There are two Lamechs mentioned in the Bible. Lamech the First is the last mentioned father in the line of Cain. Lamech the Second is the father of Noah.
The word lmk does not occur in Hebrew, so we are left to guess at its meaning. BEB remains silent on he subject, but both Jones and NOBSE suggest relations to an untreated root meaning strong and robust young man. Jones reads Powerful; NOBSE reads Wild Man.
The name Lamech may also be seen as constructed of the particle (le 1063), meaning to or towards; and the verb (muk 1159), be low, depressed, or even the adjacent verb (makak 1193), be low, humiliated. The whole name would thus mean For Lowering; For Humiliation.
The Chaotic Set Theory suggests that in Noah the human-animal mental symmetry broke. The standing of man meant a disparity in posture; all other living beings now being low.
