kohas

Kohas is a surname and, less commonly, a place name. The exact origin of the name is not clearly established in widely available etymological references, and it may have arisen independently in more than one linguistic milieu. Some theories suggest a toponymic origin from a place name such as Koh or Kohā in minority-language areas, while others posit that Kohas developed as a regional variant or transliteration of related surnames in Jewish, Slavic, or Balkan communities where phonetic changes and spelling conventions produced -as endings. A further possibility is that Kohas represents a derivative or patronymic form linked to a given name in certain traditions.
