Lugovoy (~ovaya) is the adjective form of meadow and also a surname. Unless the person was a Russian Jew and called Grenfeldt, I think meadows is the likely option.
Chernvoniy is the Ukranian (and old Slavic) adjective for 'red'. Ten rouble bills are nicknamed chervonets because they used to be a red colour.
