Regarding the name and it's possible translation from Finnish: "Halla" is obvious, it means "frost" or "cold", often specificially anomalous summertime cold which can damage the crops. "Ahto-" means "compressed" or "crammed": Ahtojää = pack ice.However, Ahti/Ahto is also a name for Finnish water deity or guardian. "Ahtola" is a poetic name for ocean. The word may come from Saami word áhčči, which means 'father'.

So the most suitable translation for 'Ahtohallan' might be "Frost of the Sea" or "Frost of the Sea Father".
