All over the world, כהן (Kahan , Cohen , Cahan , among others...) is a common predominantly male, but very seldom girly first name. The given name כהן is characteristic of Japan, where it is quite a rare male name, Israel, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in Japan, India, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. More prevalently, כהן is the last name as well as the forename.
