No, its not. Though at Immigration in America some years ago some Jews may have been forced to change their hard to pronounce surnames (such as Kurtzberg, Kutzberg etc) to the easier to pronouce and more Anglo saxon Kirby.

Kirby is an English surname, which was originally from a place name meaning "church settlement" in Old Norse. Kirby wasn't originally a Jewish name, but some Jewish families Anglicized their name to Kirby.
