There is a Wikipedia article for Imants:

The PDF given as "Notes (1)" there contains some more details about the name.

For Tarsila I found the following text that mentions it:
http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/446.txt
Basically it gives a theory that Tarsila is derived from the geographical name Tarsus.
The text may look somewhat suspicious, but after checking I think these people know what they are talking about. Their homepage is here:

The Academy of St Gabriel do definitely know what they're talking about. :) I've met some of them in real life and know quite a few more on the internet. They're affiliated with the Society for Creative Anachronism and they're pretty hardcore scholars very concerned about authenticity and accuracy.
