Seth 1

Seth is a name of Hebrew origin and means "appointed".

Seth is the god of chaos in Egyptian mythology, in which he was sometimes associated with royalty and negative unpredictability.

Nitpicking on the history listed on the page - Seth was not the forefather of the human race. Adam and Eve had other children who are not named, as mentioned in Genesis 5:6. Wow I sound like such a religious nut, I swear I'm not! [noted -ed]

In the Bible, the name Seth literally means "substitute," as he was given by God to Adam and Eve, when their sons Cain and Abel were both disqualified as the carrier of the promised seed.

Actually Seth means "substitute" from Hebrew because Cain killed his brother Abel and God cursed Cain for it. Eve said that she would name her child Seth because he was a substitute or replacement for her first two sons.

I think the meaning listed corresponds to roughly the same thing, really. Translation is not a flawless process.

It's also said to be originated from Egyptian mythology. A variant of the name 'Set' and possibly meaning 'pillar' or 'dazzle'.

In the Bible, Seth was the third son of Adam.
