The original German spelling of the family name is Göhn. It evolved into other variations, such as Coon, Koon, Goan, Kuhn, Kohn and Goon. People wrote the name the way it was pronounced. Lloyd B. Gohn, author of the book "A Historical Sketch of the Gohn Family in Canada" writes on page 3 that "In Pennsylvania to this day the name "Gohn" is pronounced "Goon"". Census recorders and others wrote the name the way they understood it and sometimes the alternate spelling was carried on.
