A paternal name is your father's last name, or his surname. Similarly, a maternal name is your mother's last name, known as her surname and her maiden name (it is her maiden name unless she kept her own name). Paternal and maternal refer to the two sides of your family, your paternal grandparents are your father's parents, and likewise for your maternal parents.

Is your paternal name your last name?

Usually, yes it is. Your paternal name is your father's last name (or his surname) that you and your mother got from him. On a similar note, your maternal name is your mother's last name (also called a maiden name, and it is only called that if she kept her original last name). Maternal and paternalare words that describe which side of the family something is; so for example, your grandparents on your father's side would be your paternal grandparents, and the same for your mother's side of the family.
