Together, these elements declare the identity of your app, establishing the "package family" to which all of its packages belong. Individual packages will have additional details, such as architecture and version.

enter image description here

The package family name is the combination of YourProjectName and TemporaryKey. And the Temporaraykey is a hash value of the Publisher. PFN(Package family name) gets automatically populated as a combination of Package name and the Temporarykey. It just changes with the value of Publisher changing. But it will always be a hash value not a meaningful name.
