The language I know best besides English is Spanish, but since it's not my culture, I decided to look it up, and there's actually an interesting Wikipedia article about gender neutrality in Spanish.
There's a separate page for a proposed single nonbinary pronoun "Elle" (pronounced A-yay) which I really like.
Being a romance language, nouns in Spanish are also gendered, and use a gender modifier such as -a or -o. The elle pronoun is typically associated with -e forms of the nouns
Some names don't follow that rule. Rocio is a woman's name.
