Cohen (Hebrew: כֹּהֵן‎ kōhēn’, means: "A Priest") is a Jewish surname of biblical origins (see: Kohen). It is the most common Jewish surname, comparable to "Smith" in an English-language context.

Bearing the name indicates that the ancestors of a person so named were priests in the Temple of Jerusalem.

Being a Cohen also imposes some limitations, however; by Jewish religious law a Cohen may not marry a divorced woman (only a single woman or a widow) and may not marry someone who converted to Judaism.

I like Cohen or Kohen but the meaning is a bit strange...although supposedly my last name means "mud bog" so I guess I’m not one to talk

i like Cohen best and i don’t think the meaning is strange at all, i like it and i love Hebrew names, i don’t think any of that matters unless you’re Jewish, even though they might not be so strict with it now.. GL xxx
