Family name origins & meanings

• Japanese (rare in Japan) : the most usual rendering is ‘gold’; bearers are most likely descended from immigrants named Kim, from the ancient Korean Shilla kingdom.
• Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic) : one of the many forms of Cohen.
• Polish (Koń) : from koń ‘horse’, hence a metonymic occupational name for someone who bred or cared for horses or a nickname for someone thought to resemble a horse.
