Cohan

Meaning of Cohan

Cohan springs from the ancient Hebrew name Cohen, meaning “priest,” and took on fresh spirit in Ireland and America as a bold surname-turned-given name. It carries the honor of leadership and service in each syllable, yet rolls off the tongue with Irish warmth like a breeze over green hills. On Broadway, George M. Cohan gave it bright, toe-tapping energy that still pops today. Wrapped in a Latin heartbeat, Cohan dances like una melodía alegre, full of pasión y sol. It arrives with a tiny top hat of charisma, ready to light a little boy’s futuro.
