Some of the preceding answerers list all the names used in Poland, while I believe that James wanted names that are not met elsewhere. Such names would typically consist of two segments - the first would be an attribute, the second would be the persons relation to such attribute. For example:
-sław would mean "famous for". Like: Mieczysław - "famous for the sword(manship)". Other similar names - Bolesław, Stanisław, Mirosław
-mir would mean "loving". Like Dobromir - "good loving". Other similar names - Boromir, Sławomir
-dar would mean "gift". Like Bożydar - "a gift from God".
-mił would mean "favored". Like "Bogumił" "favored by God".
Hope that helps.
