Third son of Adam and Chavah, born after Hevel's death and said to be in Adam's own image and likeness (Genesis 4:25, 5:3). Genesis 5 traces the line from Shet down through Noach. This spelling is shared with an ordinary Hebrew word, so the count reflects more than one meaning.

A spelling is not a name. The written word שת stands 17 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns.
