*<span id="surname guessing">{{man label|Surname guessing:}}<span> This option affects the initial family name of a child when they are added to the family tree.
** {{man label|'''Father's surname}} ''' (default) - will use the family name of the father. ** {{man label|''None}} '' - means that no surname guessing will be attempted. ** {{man label|''Combination of mother's and father's surname}} '' - will use the father's name followed by the mother's name. ** {{man label|''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name Icelandic style]}} '' - will use the father's given name followed by the "sson" suffix (e.g. the son of Edwin will be guessed as Edwin''sson'').
{{man tip|1=Tip |2=The {{man label|Surname guessing:}} option only affects the initial family name guessed by Gramps when the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog is launched from a {{man label|Family Editor}} window.
