Cohan was born to an American father and a British mother, and has Scottish, Irish, and Norwegian ancestry. Sources have listed Cohan's birthplace as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but Cohan has stated in interviews that she was born in New Jersey.
During her childhood, Cohan lived in Cherry Hill—and, for one year, Georgia—before moving to the United Kingdom at age 13. The family settled in Surrey. When Cohan's mother remarried, she took her new husband's surname, "Cohan", and converted to Judaism. Cohan also converted to her Jewish stepfather's religion at age five, and had a Bat Mitzvah ceremony. She has five younger siblings, including a stepsister.
