Hyphenated double names are rare (except for Ana-Marija), but then since we don't usually use middle names all people with two names use both even when they're not hyphenated (I know a
Zrinka Katarina that goes by her full name for example).
Ljubiša is a variation of
Ljuban,
Lubos, etc (-ša is a diminutive suffix, as in the case of
Sasha,
Misha, etc.). The same root as
Ljubica, yes.
I've never seen Bjelan before, the root is word 'bjel' meaning 'white'.
