Best Answer

In the Biblical Age, Ancient Israel had Priests called Kohanim (literally Hebrew for "Priests") who oversaw the sacrifices in the Great Temple and passed this position to their children. The Kohanim still exist today as the descendants of those Priests and commonly have the last name of Cohen or some variant to indicate their ancestry.
