The subject has been brought up before. The name is not neccessairily Jewish, but refers to the profession of cloth weaver or thread dyer (since some sources claim his name was Sabghian, not Sabourjian). He certainly doesn’t look particularily Persian to me, so some minority background could be likely. But the name alone is not conclusive proof of being a Jew. However it would be a delicious irony and the worst case of a self-hating Jew since Noam Chomsky.

Converts from Judaism or Christianity are welcomed with open arms, just as Jewish converts to Catholicism were welcomed into Christian society during medieval times.
IOW, neither he nor his fellow religionists would consider him a Jew due to his (possible) Jewish ancestry.
