i think that since res would mean country or perhaps land as in people and if they took pospolita from poly meaning many in greek it coudl also probably mean "land of many peoples", as there were a lot of nationalities at the time. Does this perhaps make any possible sense to anyone?
It is direct from Roman Empire - Res Populi - So You are right it was "thing of people" country of all different people living in here. I like that many people of different believes and nationalities could escape from their country and come into Poland for living in tolerancy. Fact is that even the wich hunts were much more rear in Poland then in western countries.
