Reply To: Most Common Surname Among Torah Observant Jews

BS”D

Most common first names – I’d guess Yosef, Moshe, David – male and Rivka, Esther, Sara – female (not sure in what order).

SJS – no – I mean only the actual surname Cohen as Katz is not found outside the Ashkenazi communities. There is actually a Persian surname Cohen Tzedek (Tzedek may be Persianised to Sadegh in some cases) written out in full.
