Hi Silver, good to see you again!!
Sarabi – no idea, sorry
Vitawny – no idea, sorry
Sumahla/Sumela - Sumela is the name of a monastery in Turkey, the name is believed to have Greek roots (mela = black), Sumahla reminds me of Somalia….
Elseidee – never heard that one. Maybe related to Else?
Nenzory Nenzoria – never heard… maybe related to Nancy?
Nubia – looong explanation: http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/32/004.html

I believe Anatolia is derived from the Greek "anatole" - sunrise. I don't really remember who named the region, though Greeks would be a good guess :P
