Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: at least ashekanazi jewish

Umm, not unless it's a derivative of Cohen (which it might be sometimes).

the baseball commiss last name was kuhn and he was NOT Jewish

My guess is that it is derivative of Cohen which is a Levite name, different Tribe of Israel.

Kuhn is predominantly German and is common in some parts of the NE US.

You are confusing it with COhen.

Yes. It is one of the many variations of Cohen, Kohn, Kuhn, Cohn, etc.

i realy dont think so. it is posible that it is german. due to alot of jewish people took ger names so they would not be killed. back in the 40's.
