p:abstract
  • Cohen ( 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. An effort to trace whether or not people named "Cohen" actually have a common genetic origin has been undertaken in the specific DNA signature associated with the name known as the Cohen Modal Haplotype.
