As a matter of fact, YES!  They are listed here:

And since you might need them, here are a couple of pages about Russian names
that I thought you might need:

A Dictionary of Period Russian Names
http://sca.org/heraldry/paul/

Locative Bynames in Medieval Russia [that is, if you want to be "Mikhail of
Someplace," this is a list of the places you can be "of" <g> and an article about
how to construct it all properly in Russian.]
