Andrew Thaddeus Bonaventure Kosciuszko and General Pulawski.

NYC honors them every year.

Was Bonawentura a name "gifted" to him, an actual family name, or is it just a coincidence that it sounds hella lot like 'good adventure' in Latin (or some romance language)?

That's the name in the article, and it's not a particularly odd name.
