"How to handle all single names (It is usually best practice to tag most westernized single names (Pele, Cher, and Ice Cube) as <surname> elements. Tibetan, Burmese, and other Indian single names that are not surnames may be tagged as <given-names>."
See http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/1.0/n-pxu2.html#pub-tag-names- cites
al_Most indexing tools will pick up the surname for indexing and not bother with given-names, so I would be inclined to use
<string-name><surname>Afiahayati</surname></string-name>
instead for practical reasons.
Using <string-name> without <surname> will not offer much help to indexing, which will not know what this string represents, so it may or may not index it.

I'd be more inclined to use <string-name>Afiahayati</string-name> and then possibly <given-name> (following the JATS recommendation) if <string-name> wouldn't work.
It would also depend on what the system ingesting the XML plans to do with it.
Since I'm dealing with names a lot lately I generally wish I could just use <string-name> exclusively and let search engines sort it all out:-)

From the documentation quotes below, I'm leaning towards using <name><surname>Afiahayati</surname></name>, rather than <name name-style="given-only"><given-names>Afiahayati</given-names></name>, as the way surnames are treated downstream seems more appropriate.
Does anyone know of any reasons why using <surname> in this case would be inappropriate?
Thanks, Alf
==============================
The JATS documentation says: "There is no single style that best handles all single (one-part) names. Tibetan, Indian, and Burmese single names that are not surnames may be tagged as <given-names>; there is no need to commit the tag abuse of calling the given name a surname. Most westernized single names (Pele, Prince, Babyface, Aztek) are more likely to be retrieved properly if they are tagged as <surname>s." http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/publishing/tag-library/1.0/n-i7n0.html

Taylor & Francis says: "Note that <surname> is also used to capture mononyms (or a single name), such as Plato, Peli', or Napoleon." http://routledgebooksproduction.com/back/references.htm

PubMed says: "Can Single Personal Author Names be supplied to PubMed?
Yes. A Single Personal Author Name, when a person has only one name, should be included by using the EmptyYN attribute for the <FirstName> tag within an <Author> tag. The default value for the EmptyYN attribute is "N"; indicating that the <FirstName> tag should not be empty.
[...]
<AuthorList> <Author> <FirstName EmptyYN="Y"></FirstName> <MiddleName></MiddleName> <LastName>Matiullah</LastName> </Author> <Author> <FirstName EmptyYN="N">S.</FirstName> <LastName>Rehman</LastName> </Author> </AuthorList> " http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3828/#publisherhelp.Can_Single_Person
