Somebody pass the ketchup. This is going to be the ongoing joke of the year. Wine, anyone?

First Name

We have no name meaning and origin for Kuhn

Last Name
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).
Hope this helps.

"itsjustme" has a great answer from ancestry.com.

Just to add to that, my sister married a man with the last name "Kuhn". My brother in law's family is German (paternal) and Irish (maternal). So, there is some real world experience to back up that answer from "itsjustme".
