This also through history becomes A Kohen (or Cohen, Hebrew כּהן, 'priest', pl. כּהנִים, Kohanim or Cohanim) is a Jew who is in direct patrilineal descent from the Biblical Aaron,older brother of Moses, with an honored status in Judaism. Another term for the descendants of Aaron are the Aaronites or Aaronids.
Because Aaron was a member of the Tribe of Levi, all Kohanim today are levites, by direct patrilineal descent. However, not all Levites are Kohanim. It is being found that they also have B positive Blood with special markers. (NGEO Family Tree)
clues indicate possible Jewish ancestry and whether you match others who are Jewish. Our Jewish comparative databases are the largest in the world, containing records for Ashkenazim and Sephardim, as well as Levites and Cohanim.
There are numerous variations to the spelling of the surname Kohen. These are often corrupted by translation or transliteration into or from other languages, as exemplified below (not a complete list).
However, by no means are all Jews with these surnames Kohanim. Additionally, some "Kohen"-type surnames are considered stronger indications of the status than others. "Cohen" is one of the hardest to substantiate due to its sheer commonality.
In contemporary Israel, "Moshe Cohen" is the equivalent of "John Smith" in English-speaking countries - i.e., proverbially the most common of names.

Levites As a Surname
Some Levites have adopted a related last name to signify their status. Because of diverse geographical locations, the names have several variations:
Having a last name of Levi or a related term does not necessarily mean a person is a Levite, and many Levites do not have such last names. Levitical status is passed down in families from parent to child, as part of a family's genealogical tradition. In traditional Judaism, tribal status is determined by patrilineal descent, so a child whose biological father is a Levite is a Levite (in cases of adoption or artificial insemination, status is determined by the genetic father). Because Jewish status is traditionally determined by matrilineal descent, conferring levitical status on children requires both biological parents to be Jews and the biological father to be a Levite.
