That Japanese family names have meanings is mostly a myth. Most don't have a meaning that makes any sense. Each kanji used in a name, however, has a meaning.
神崎 is usually pronounced
かんざき and there may be families where it's pronounced
かみさき or
かみざき.
金崎 is pronounced
かねさき or
かねざき.
Now meanings:
神 = God
崎 = a steep mountain path
金 = gold, money
This should explain my own first sentence above.
