> Stanlislava

looks like the female Stanisl/awa [accented L], a Slavic name more common in
the male form, from _stani_ "to become" + _sl/awa_ "glory, fame, renown."

> Vanda


Wanda, female, the daughter of King Krak, founder of Krakow, jumped in the
rivber Vistula and drowned herself rather than marry a Herman prince.

> Ipolinoras

Appolinaris, male, name of first bishop of Ravenna, martyr, feast July 23.


> Lose

Louisa?

> Juoras

Might be a form of Jurgis = George, but looks suspiciously like Jouzas =
Joseph.

> Eloyra


I'm not sure how reliable these spellings are. Might be a version of
Elwira, or Eleonora, or even Eligia.

> Teslovas


I think this must be a version of Czesl/aw, Slavic name _ciech_
"consolation" + _sl/aw_ "glory."


> Martynas


Martin.

> Daiva


female David.

> Rolandos


Roland.


> Gitana


It might be a Lithuanian name, but it is probably just a derivation of
Brygida = Brigit.

> Jolanta


Female. Etmology uncertain.


> Loina


Leona?
