To me this looks like Georgian or Armenian handwriting. I'm Russian, and to me this doesn't look like Cyrillic.

The first one is Genoefa. There are Polish names Onyszko and Onyszkiewicz (and Oniszczuk) - obviously, the last name is neither of those, but I'd suggest looking at a really long list of Polish names and see if anything jumps up.

Is this a first and last name? Any clues on the country?

The first one looks to me either like Genoefor, Genofor, or Geneofoi, but I can't make out the second.

None of those appear to be names.I have been told the first is Genowefa.
And the second looks to begin with Onysz...

And to end with "-ub"
Which could also be "-iv", which would perhaps make more sense as an ending of a name, if it were written in Cyrillic; but it doesn't make sense to me, because the rest doesn't look much like Cyrillic I know... Still, I'm only familiar with Russian Cyrillic, and only the modern one, and I believe there are other variants. If it is Cyrillic, the ending is probably "-niv".I hope this helps at least as an overview of other possibilities to pursue in your research...
