As a Jewish surname.

[edit]

This is the longest section, and it begins with Cowan is a variant of Cohen, the Hebrew for "priest".

This gives an overall impression that all instances of Cowan originate from Cohen, which isn't true. Most instances came from Irish or Scottish MacOwen (in various spellings), while only a few are Anglicized forms of Cohen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:1B9E:E100:4595:DFBB:ACB8:220A (talk) 20:44, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
