Clarify to me; "First name and Last name" in Sri Lanka!

In Sri Lankan culture, People often use their father's name as a first name but in the business "First name and Last name" are confusing.
In business field which name become a first name and last name?

I think first name is your Name and the last name is your surname (father's name)

For Example your full name is : Edward Lawrence

First name - your name: Edward

Last name - your father's name (surname): Lawrence
