Priest
Kohyn is a modern phonetic spelling of the Hebrew surname and title Cohen, which denotes a member of the Aaronic priesthood. While traditionally a sacred surname in Jewish culture, it has recently been adapted as a given name in the United States. This specific spelling variation is part of a contemporary trend of replacing vowels with 'y'.
