Meaning & origin
Kohner is an exceedingly rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2000. It peaked in usage in 2012, yet has never entered the top 1,000. The name's meaning is unclear, likely a modern respelling or surname adoption, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something uncommon. Its trajectory has remained stable, with no significant increase or decline in recent years.
Kohner is a rare modern first name, likely derived from the German or Jewish surname Kohner, which itself may be a variant of Kohen (priest) or an occupational name for a miller (from German Kohn, a millstone). Alternatively, it may be a respelling of the Irish name Connor, but this is speculative. Its use as a given name emerged in the United States around the year 2000, possibly as a creative spelling or family surname adoption.
