The author does not give any particular textual reference on her name.Personally I find it a good sounding imaginative name,sometimes when creating secondary worlds many authors blunder with their names.

I too have seen the name before. It sounds Scandinavian and apparently "iskaldur" is Icelandic for 'icy'. Have you ever read the edda? It could very well be a name for a weapon or a giant.

Ah, now I notice it. Literally it must mean "ice cold". Isyllt could very well be a Nordic version of Isilde/Isolde.

Maybe it does,we have to ask the author! 
I know zero Latin,we only did ancient Greek in high school and in University I studied business administration,my sis did Latin in uni though I'll ask her about it.

Really?!!To tell the truth by your art i thought you're a hypnomancer it has an eerie dream-like quality to it.
