Cohen

The head caste in Ancient and future Israel, the koheinim (priests) are Levi'im (Levites) who are descended from Aharon ben-Amram-v'Yokheved HaLevi.

"Cohen" is a variant of "Kohein". In turn, "Cohen" has variants such as "Katz" ("Kohan Tzedek", as in Phoebe Katz (Cates) Klein), "Kagan" or "Kajan" (variants of "Kahan" or "Kahane"; as in Associate SCOTUS Justice Elena Kagan), "Kohn" and "Kahn" (as in John Kohn (changed to Kerry by his granddad, Fritz Kohn)), and "Cohan" (a variant of "Kohein" not to be confused with the variant for the Irish "Keohane", though that may have some, if any, origins among koheinim based in Ireland).

Cohen

god where do we begin? Cohen is the sweetest, most caring, down to earth person you will ever meet. You are so lucky if you get the chance to call him yours. Normally AMAZING OUT OF THIS WORLD kissers and they are so genuine. Cohen's are rare to find, but if you do find one, hold onto him as long as you can. He's legitimately the definition of perfect. Honestly. He's smart, SUPER hot but cute at the same time (which idk if that's even that's possible) and he has a great sense of humour. If you do meet a Cohen...well....consider yourself the most luckiest girl in the world:)

Cameron: Hey did you see the new guy? He is literally everything I'll ever need! Has he asked you out yet.
Sabrina: Yeah, and his name is Cohen,

Cohen

He's a sweetheart, and a jerk. He knows how to melt your heart, bit he also knows how to break it more than anyone else. You can trust him with anything. He's been through a lot he just keeps it inside, he isn't heartless he's just trying to come across as strong. He's cute, and funny, and sweet, and the guy who can steal your heart, hold it for a while, then shatter it and not care at all. Still, you can't help but love him.

Oh my goodness, Cohen can be such an ass, I love him tho. Anyone would be lucky to have him
