I've always pronounced it svet-lah-nah

Actually, proper pronounciation is: sfet-LAH-nah
The SV makes a combined S and F sound, which is not found in English, Most English speakers have a hard time pronouncing it properly, and fall to SV instead.
"A" always make the sound like "ah".
I had this discussion with my best friend, who is a linguist at USU, about a year ago concerning this same name.
