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...
