Best Answer

There is no surname that is used only by Jews. There are many surnames that are used both by Jews and non-Jews.

Therefore, any surname that is used by a Jewish family is Jewish, and any surname that is used by a non-Jewish family is not Jewish. So any surname can be both Jewish and non-Jewish at the same time.
