One possible source of their name? Jewish?

Irony of ethnic hatred and ethnic names.

Their name is Pinho… possibly Italian or Portuguese.
One possible source of their name? Jewish way back when?

Pinho Surname User-submission:

Its origin is probably from the Jews. To protect themselves from being persecuted many changed their surnames to the names of the trees and animals, for example Pinho (pine), Coelho (rabbit) and Nogueira (walnut tree).
