If you're referring to the famous musicians, then the answer is no. Steven Van Zandt (E Street Band) was born Steven Lento, and later took his step-father's last name.

However, Ronnie Van Zant was the brother of Johnny and Donnie Van Zant (who both Lynyrd Skynyrd at different times). Steven Van Zandt is the half-brother of actor Billy Van Zandt.
