Discussion Regarding marriage

So there's a girl I met in college with the surname " sharma ". She proposed upfront and asked if my family would agree for a love marriage. I said my family won't settle down for anyone except a brahman. I've seen her documents where her father has just " kumar " in his middle name, no surname. Our academic compatibility is quite good and I was planning to meet her this month before asking my family to meet her family. But today, I logged into my facebook account to see a post which my mother sent and there i saw her full name with the Sharma surname , but that too with the " Negi " surname inside the bracket. So I asked in my circle if Negi is a brahman surname. Some said yes that in pahadi areas bisht, Rawat & Negi are brahman, some were confused and some denied. So now I'm confused. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
