Where did the Jewish Cohens family come from? What is the Jewish Cohens family crest and coat of arms? When did the Cohens family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Cohens family history?
The distinguished surname Cohens is a proud sign of an ancient Jewish culture. The surname Cohens is an occupational surname for a priest, and it comes from the Hebrew word kohen. Traditionally, priests were considered to have been members of a hereditary caste, descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses. Not all Jewish bearers of the surname Cohens belong to this caste, however. When many Jews were being forced to join the Russian Army for a term of 25 years, a number of them changed their last name to Cohens, because members of the clergy were exempt from service.
