Possible Meanings

1. Priest

Biblical verses – The vast majority of the occurrences of both the noun כֹּהֵן and verb כהן refer to a priest who works in the service of either Hashem or an idolatrous god.
Additional data –

2. Distinguished individual

Biblical verses – In Shemuel II 8:18,¹ כֹּהֵן does not speak of a priest, but rather of a different type of distinguished individual – see below for options. See also Yeshayahu 61:10 where the verb yekhahen does not mean to serve as a priest, but rather to be adorned or clothed (perhaps, like a priest).
Additional data –

Commentators who adopt the position that a kohen does not always mean a priest, must further decide whether in these cases the term signifies a distinguished person or a person who serves:

An important person – RashiBereshit 47:22About Rashi, AbarbanelShemot 18About Abarbanel, Hoil MosheBereshit 47:22About Hoil Moshe.
A person who serves – R. Yonah ibn JanachSefer HaShorashim (כהן)About Ibn Janach, Ibn EzraBereshit 41:45About Ibn Ezra, RadakSefer HaShorashim (כהן)About Radak, RambanBereshit 41:45About Ramban.

-	<subcategory>Additional Notes and Questions:
-	<ul>
-		<li>Etymology? to serve, to be established, see Akkadian</li>
-		<li>Which is the original meaning (did the semantic field expand or become narrower)?  Did it start with a term for a religious functionary (most probably as a noun) and then get expanded to all functionaries?  Or was it originally a more general meaning of serving or distinguishing (perhaps, most likely a verb), whose most common application became the religious priest?</li>
-		<li>What is the narrow meaning of <i>kohen</i> – one who serves God, one who is selected/distinguished from the people to serve God?</li>
-		<li>What is the expanded meaning of <i>kohen</i> – one who serves (משרת), a dignitary (שר)?</li>
-		<li>Exegetical tendencies – Ibn Ezra tries to read almost all of the cases as priest.</li>
