Also, Svana means "swan-like" "graceful"
Fjola means "flower" like a violet
and Katla doesn’t really translate, but means something like "pure" ~Kristja

Fjola gmv.

What a nice change of pace from our usual choices. I love these names. Fjola stood out for me because it’s so pretty. It reminds me of Fiona, but with an L instead of an N.

When I read your first comment I almost wished that I had voted for Svana instead. The meaning is so poetic. Plus, names like Svanhildr are guilty pleasures for me. By the way, Katharine (Aikaterine in original Greek) means "pure" as well. So I’d bet that Katla is a variant. Good luck! :0)
