There is no real answer but a good guess would be that the modern day Syrian and Lebanese Christians and some Greeks because that area was conquered by Romans and Byzantine Greeks who later made Christianity the official religion of the empire. Yes the Muslims conquered these areas and some people did convert but I would think it would be uncommon because Muslims tolerated Christianity. Modern day Muslims would most likely be of Arab origin because it is against Islamic law to convert to any other religion once you are Muslim.
