Woo, a hyphenated double name! Is that very unusual? I kind of like it.
Ljubiša = male version of Ljubica?
And can you tell me anything about Bjelan and Svetozar?

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'. More on Svetozar here: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/svetozar
