I assumed Arc was his paternal surname because he said the Crocea Mors was passed down by his paternal linage, and the the symbol on the shield fits with the image of the word "arc".

That said, some have questioned why, if Jaune has such a remarkable amount of aura naturally and it's kind of in his family tradition to be hunters and the like, he was never sent to Combat School or given any sort of training. Now that it was brought up that he seems to be hiding a "true emblem", I was thinking, maybe he is an illegitimate child? It could explain his father and family in general treating him with lesser expectations regardless of whatever natural talents. Maybe he found out and that's why he decided to go to Beacon, to prove he could do it "on his own" and show his father he was worth the Arc last name just as much.
