Hello, big Mc Donalds-fan! I know several people with the last name Kuhn and Kühn. Some are neighbors more or less, and one is among my clients. I think there will be thousands of families with these last names in my home country, who don´t even know anything about each other. And because Germans spread all over eastern Europe in the past centuries, you will certainly find these names in all the countries you were specifying in your question. I´m afraid, your search for just one person with that name will become subtle. You will have to do it like a detective. By the way, the Kuhn I was visiting on Friday is a copy-shop owner. Greetings from Germany!

Otto.Saxo is totally on the mark, as is Wendy C. German names as common as Kuhn spread throughout the empires of Germany and Austria-Hungary in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's almost impossible not to find it in all those lands, and don't forget Switzerland, as well.

House of Names is a scam and it's sad that people keep using it as a source on this site. Their job is to sell you tzatchkes with your surname on it by making everyone fit into one of their pedigree files. The reality is much different and it's bad genealogy to use them to direct your research. Instead, you need to research back to your immigrant ancestor and find the passenger records that brought them to the US. From there, you can find all sorts of records, such as draft registration, census and wills. It's not hard and you can usually do it in a few days with the help of your parents, grandparents or aunts/uncles, then a trip to the county library.

Sounds like a Germanic last name to me.

Kuhn
German: from the personal name Kuno, a short form of Kunrat (see Konrad). The German word kühn, meaning ‘bold’, may have influenced the popularity of this short form, but is not necessarily the immediate source of it.
German: variant spelling of Kühn(e) (see Kuehn).
Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from German kühn ‘bold’, but in some cases an altered spelling of Cohn or Kohn (see Cohen).

stop GUESSING.
Find your ancestor of this name, and find the documents that show his/her place of birth.
Trying to guess where a surname comes from is useless, and often lead to choking on Big Macs.

edit
the majority of experienced researchers here consider houseofnames to be unreliable or even a rip off
