The name Kohen (or Cohen) is skyrocketing in popularity, but only in red states, while Mira is all over blue states. What's driving the popularity of these traditionally Jewish names? Forward's Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox have thoughts. Mira: "Does Cohen mean anything else, besides being a priest?" Benyamin: "Sure, it means, 'Hi, I’m a Jew.'"

how could we possibly know the ancient Romans said it like this?! well, it's simple! they were truly more advanced than many medieval european civs in many ways, which included leaving a lot of texts. someof the texts give VERY precise examples of how they spoke, how words were pronounced, etcetera. pretty neat, right?!
