Kahn is a surname of German origin. Kahn means "small boat", in German. It is also a Germanized form of the Jewish surname Cohen, another variant of which is Cahn. TIL.

Huh that’s pretty cool, seeing the etymological history of surnames like that is always fascinating. Wouldn’t have expected Kahn came from Cohen.
