Rare enough to double-check
Kohn is uncommon French at frequency #81,297 among 737 “K” headwords, classed as aproper noun. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Nom de famille.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for Kohn, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Kohn, spelled K-O-H-N.
