The surname "Koch" is not inherently Jewish, as it is of German origin and can be found among individuals of various backgrounds. Surnames are not exclusive to any particular religion or ethnicity, and can be shared by people from different cultural backgrounds. It is important to note that the presence of a surname does not necessarily indicate a person's religious affiliation.
