We do know from the HoME books that Aragorn used the surname "Arathornsson" in a letter he sent to Sam (if I'm recalling correctly) during his reign. Given that and the fact that in the LotR, he called himself "Aragorn, son of Arathorn," I would suspect that what surnames existed among the Dunedain and possibly the Rohirrim followed that general pattern. Tolkien may have said more about it in his letters, but no specific mention comes to mind at the moment. I shall have to look. (After supper. The tummy is growling....)
