"Surname" is a more technically precise way of saying "family name" in English. It means "name at the end" or "last name" and so is not technically accurate when talking about family names in the oriental cultures where the name of the family is written first. Nevertheless, in English that is the term to use.
Family name is a name which will move with you through out your life in professional places also,and given name is a name which has given in love to some one which could be replace by any other name.

A given name, also known as a first name or forename, is the personal name that is given to an individual at birth or during a naming ceremony. It distinguishes one individual from others in the same family.
