Eric Cohn is an unusual name for a muslim, or was he sjw offended on behalf of others?
This name has two distinct possible origins, the first being a Jewish name from the Hebrew “Kohen”, a priest. However not all Jews bearing this name belong to the priestly caste, descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses, as several members of the faith changed their name to Cohen to avoid forced military service in the Russian army, priests being the only males exempt from service. The second possibility is that Cohen is an Anglicized form of two Gaelic Irish surnames - O Cadhain of Connacht, and O Comhdhain of Ulster.
