User-submitted Reference
Coifman comes from the Yidish dialect and means 'buyer'. It is a surname of Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe. The variance between Coifman and Koifman or Kaufmann are due to the original country of registry. Romania use a Latin language which doesn't have the letter K in its alphabet, so those registered there are "Coifman". If they were registered in Russia, for example, they would be "Koifman".
