Like in Icelandic, where you have three recognized terms to use as a modifier to a surname.

(parents name)-son, to denote male

(parents name)-dottir, to denote female

(parents name)-bur, to denote non-gender.

Since you can use the mothers or fathers first name was the first part of one's surname, you can have an Einar Thorason or Sigríður Thoradottir or a Regn Thorabur. (First names in Icelandic are officially gender neutral as well).
