I'm a bit confused about ″familiar″.
I think it means if you are familiar with someone, 1. you are acquaint with someone or 2. you have ever seen/heard of someone's name, but you haven't met someone.
However, those meanings seem to be contradicted…apparently I'm wrong(><)
Could you help me understand the word with some examples?

Your first meaning for 'familiar' is correct. Being familiar with someone refers to someone you are acquainted with. The second meaning you gave is a bit different. Ex:
"Do you know [Firstname Lastname]?"
"No, I think I may have heard the name before, but I'm not familiar with them."
