I have Icelandics, they get Icelandic names according to either color, or happenings around their birth or character:
Alfur = elf : he was very ill when he was small, and so "see-through" that nobody would notice him in the pasture, hence the name.
Ran= wife of the sea god Aegir: Ran loves to swim through the lake out of the pasture....
Geira= spear : She is a determined goal-oriented FAST horse...
Drifa = snow drift : she was born on the 1st November into a snow drift
Glymjandi = the thundering one : he loves to "thunder" up and down the hills at enormous speed, just for fun
Loftfari: Air farer : He dances and flies when he trots and gaits, appears to never touch the ground
Blanda= where glacier water meets normal river water..sort of milky : this mare is a red dun tobiano roan mare and the name fits the color perfectly
Saeros = rose of the sea : She is extraordinarily pretty, hence a pretty name...
There are more., but I won't bore ya....lol
