You may document each part seperately and prove plausible construction.
RfS 2.II.:

     Constructed Names - Documented names and words may be used to
     form place names, patronymics, epithets, and other names in a
     period manner. Constructed forms must follow the rules for
     formation of the appropriate category of name element in the
     language from which the documented components are drawn. For
     instance, the standard male patronymic in Old Norse consists of
     the possessive form of the father's name joined to the word
     son, like Sveinsson is the son of Svein. The documented Old
     Norse given name Bjartmarr could be used in this construction
     to form Bjartmarsson, even if this particular patronymic was
     not found in period sources. Similarly, German towns on rivers
     regularly use the name of the river with the word bruck, like
     Innsbruck, to indicate the town had a bridge over that river. A
     new branch could use the documented German name of the river
     Donau to construct the name Donaubruck.
