Yes. For example, Allama Iqbal comes from a Kashmiri Brahmin descent. And he is a Shaikh.
Entire Mohyal sub-clans of Punjabi Brahmans from Sargodha to Jhelum converted to Islam, and adopted the surname of Shaikh. I have the names of many such families living in Pakistani Punjab today.
This is also true of Dogra Brahmins, and Brahmins from Kangra-Garhwal-Kumaon, who accepted Islam.
Also, the Brahmans in Hazara KPK.
Muhammad Iqbal's Father was Kashmiri Brahmin but his mother was from Sheikh family.
