I'm quite aware of the "all Jews are Ashkenazi" stereotype, and I know that it's wrong since it erases the diversity of the Jewish community around the world. There are some non-Ashkenazi Jewish names in the submitted database, such as the ones listed under Judeo-Spanish (many of which are historically attested Sephardic names).

I just removed "Jewish" from one of the names I submitted (Schönche).
