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