Cohen

Kagen (as in the Chafetz Chaim. It is an Eastern European way of saying Kohain)

Kaplan (for Ashkenazim. In Turkish Kaplan means “tiger”)

Rapaport/Rapoport (One of the most distinguished of priestly families. The Gra was “podeh” himself by every Kohain he met until he met a member of the Rapaport family. Supposedly they have a shtar yichus [family tree with all the names] going back to Aharon)

Shapiro (some, not all. I heard it has to do with the grandson of the Maharal who was last named Katz. He married a Shapiro and took her name because she had no brothers. Anyone else hear of this?)

Kahane (Aramaic for Kohain)

Kahana (variation)

Maguri, yemenite family with Shtar Yichus.
