Hi Silver!
Here's a list with figures from the Nordic Mythology, and you'll find "Mist" on it as well:

I'm sorry about Valhall. It's the Swedish form of the word. I just had a look in my dictionary, and there the English form is written as "Valhall(a)", so I think in English both versions are possible!

As always, the Greek connection ;)
Mist came into English indeed though Nordic languages. It originates from the pre-teutonic "migh- meigh-" which is related to the Greek "omichle" meaning fog.
