Both Epstein and Einstein are German -Jewish names based on the German word
for stone (Stein, pronounced shtine).
Many Jews in the USA - and other countries of the diaspora- came from
countries in Eastern Europe where they spoke Yiddish, a language based on a
German dialect. In Yiddish, — Stein is pronounced closer to steen and it is
this pronunciation which is largely used for names with the -ei diphthong.
The Epstein name and pronunciation has presumably come through the Eastern
European/ Yiddish route (so epp-steen)
On the other hand, Albert Einstein, coming from a middle class German Jewish
family, would have spoken German as a mother tongue and would most likely
have pronounced the name according to standard German pronunciation
(something like ine-shtine). As the sht- combination is not known in English,
the pronunciation became corrupted (in the English speaking world) to
ine-stine.
