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.
