From what I know Brahmins have 3 tiers:
Upadhyaya
Kumai
Jaisi
As for surnames, Sharma and Upadhyaya are Upadhyaya Brahmins. Rest of the surnames are shared equally by all.
Some Upadhyaya Brahmins write 'Upadhyaya' after their name to indicate they are Upadhyayas even though they have different surname e.g. Shailendra Kumar
