My Name's origin

I've been very curious about the origins of my last name. THe original spelling of some ancestors in the U.S. were "Oelwein". I looked up the German translation and it seems to be "Oil wine". What is the possibility that this name could be Jewish? Can anybody help me know?

You might want to try the surname board with this

Thanks, I didn't realize these were first names. Any comment on my first name?

At first, I didn't really like this name, but it is growing on me.
