French translation of Cohen gives: Cauin/Calvin, as in: John Calvin[edit]
John Calvin was a crypto-Jew, likewise he has a crypto-Jewish lastname, Calvin, spelt before that, Cauvin, and before that Cohen. Really interesting stuff out there about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.66.66.78 (talk) 05:14, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Or maybe his ancestor was a bald (calvo) speaker of some Romance language. —Tamfang (talk) 01:35, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
