Here are some sites that I discovered.
Girl names that mean sun
Girl names that mean light
I wish I knew some off the top of my head but I don’t know name origins like that.

I know a woman whose name is Light. She’a a very strong mother-earth type. It fits her perfectly.

Lucia means ‘Light’. There is a St. Lucia and she is celebrated here in Scandinavia every December just before Christmas.
The Latin word for light is Lux and I think that would make a pretty cool and tough girls name.
In Norwegian there is a nice list of names that mean light:

Helene
Elin
Nora
Lena
Eline
Ellinor
.... and there are slight variations
Oline
Aline
Olina

Most of the names are local variations of the name Helena, but they all mean ‘Light’.

and just for clarification on pronouncing the names, we always pronounce the last vowel.

Hikari means light in Japanese. It is easy to pronounce and has a strong, staccato feel about it.
