Summary: etymology of Katz and Rappaport?

In article <1256@aecom.UUCP> teitz@aecom.UUCP (Eliyahu Teitz) writes:
||	The reason for this is not discrimination against people called Cohen
|| or Katz or Rappaport. The idea is that these are usually surnames of Kohanim,
|| priests...

I'm curious as to the etymology of Katz and Rappaport, and why
they indicate a Kohen. (Cohen/Kahn/Cohn etc. is obvious.)
Can someone explain?

(When I think of it, all the Katzim and Rappaporten I know are
Kohanim, so it must be right.)
