No. It has never been a Brahmin surname.
It is isolated to the state of Gujarat. Many lower castes have adopted it. Many use it to hide their true caste. Many use it also to ingrtiate themselves with upper castes.
Generally, Patels belong to the schedule tribes, backward class, and some Muslims have adopted it as well.
They then make distinctions within their group based on where their family land was from. So coming from a certain district might make them seem higher than the Patels who come from another ragion.
In any case they are not and have never been Brahmins despite their duplicity in having others believe they might have been or are.
