Is Kohn the same last name as Kuhn????????

Question:

Is Kohn the same last name as Kuhn????????

are these two last names basicaly the same but are just variants of eachother

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Kuhn
German: from the personal name Kuno, a short form of Kunrat (see Konrad). The German word kühn, meaning ‘bold’, may have influenced the popularity of this short form, but is not necessarily the immediate source of it.
German: variant spelling of Kühn(e) (see Kuehn).
Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from German kühn ‘bold’, but in some cases an altered spelling of Cohn or Kohn (see Cohen).

Kohn
Jewish (Ashkenazic): variant of Cohen.
North German (also K?hn): from the personal name Kohn or K?hn, former Low German short forms of Konrad. Well, yes and no. It depends on if you speak High or Low German No. When I went through the Central European databases, the two names were clearly distinct from each other for several centuries. They may sound similar, but they come from different roots and those who spoke German would have understood the nuances and not interchanged them. no.
Research the person, NOT the name.
