Where did the Jewish Cohn family come from? What is the Jewish Cohn family crest and coat of arms? When did the Cohn family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Cohn family history?
The distinguished surname Cohn is a proud sign of an ancient Jewish culture. The surname Cohn 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 Cohn 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 Cohn, because members of the clergy were exempt from service.
