French translation of Cohen gives: Cauin/Calvin, as in: John Calvin
editJohn Calvin was a crypto-Jew, likewise he has a crypto-Jewish lastname, Calvin, spelt before that, Cauvin, and before that Cohen. Really interesting stuff out there about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.66.66.78 (talk) 05:14, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- Or maybe his ancestor was a bald (calvo) speaker of some Romance language. —Tamfang (talk) 01:35, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Cohen (surname) → Cohen – Cohen now is not a valid disambig page: if you delete partial matches, only Kohen Building remains - Altenmann >talk 03:37, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is interesting, WikiNav for "Cohen" for June indicates readers overwhelmingly went for the people list, and Kohen was the noticable second topic of interest, and some long tail including two other surnames. The list looked like this at the time - the People section just had the list article linked, and the (surname) article wasn't linked at all. The Jewish priest article was linked as the 3rd item from the bottom in the See also section, yet readers seemed to be picking it out disproportionately to that position.
- I had to go back into the archive to find results with links to Cohen (surname), and then the situation was still effectively the same - the vast majority of identified clickstreams went to the anthroponymy topics.

- It's pretty easy to argue that this term is largely recognized by most readers as a human name. The move would cause the readers looking for something else to have to click the hatnote, but they're typically too few to count and the long-term significance of those items doesn't seem comparable.
- The surname article being split from the list of people is bad, though, because we seem to observe interest in that - in the one month when both were linked, the list got 2.5 times as much interest, and we also see hints of people looking for prominent individuals like Michael, Leonard. This is another case of WP:NAMELIST actually causing navigation to be worse. --Joy (talk) 10:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
