This is a weird thought just going off names sounding similar, but do you think Marvel's Laussa could be a form of Lussi, the Swedish Christmas Witch that got folded into the tradition of Saint Lucia? This is a folklore rabbit hole, but basically, with the advent of Christianity, Odin was demoted into the King Herla/Herne the Hunter/The Eternal Huntsman in his role as leader of the Wild Hunt, and then eventually folded into traditions about Saint Nicholas to form the composite Santa Claus or Father Christmas figure. Meanwhile, his wife Frigg was demoted into the Wild Huntswoman Frau Holle/Berchta/Frau Gaude, who also served as Christmas or Epiphany Auntie, handing out gifts to children who behaved well and obeyed the taboos of the season, but savagely punishing those who didn't, and in at least the first part, she had her image cleaned up and folded into Mrs. Claus. Lussi is a Swedish Christmas Witch who warned people to uphold the season's taboos, and her followers, played by local young men during celebrations, would play pranks as they went caroling door to door. She was folded into St. Lucia, who serves as part of Sweden's winter celebrations. So if Marvel or just the fandom wanted to take the folklore route, going by the logic that Lussi was incorporated as a part of Father Christmas and Frau Berchta's holiday "family", Laussa could easily step into her role and incorporate aspects of her lore as the daughter of Odin and Freyja/Frigg. After all, Laussa is already associated with fire and light via her connection to Surtr.

Holy shit this is so good. I have no idea if Laussa is actually based on Lussi, but I really like this, so I'm adopting this headcanon now. Also, in my head, Laussa is already a bit of a mischievous scamp, so, at least with the whole playing pranks bit, this fits really well with my own headcanons (in addition to the light connection).
