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'.
