Question about using specific symbology in my world

Hey! I am writing a clan/group that worship the sun and have powers surrounding it. The context is set in a modern world similar to our own. Upon research on symbology and imagery to represent the group, I learned that the celtic cross is an ancient symbol that represents the sun, but it was appropriated by nazis later on. My question is if using this symbol to represent my fictional clan is distasteful, as I'd be using the original sun cross wich looks like a circle and not the exact one the nazis did. Still if it is deemed wrong I can use another symbol altogether. Thanks for the advice!

Hey guys! I wanted to share my OC and also take in in any thoughts you may have about her. The first picture is her most recent design and the second is the first ever iteration nearly 3 years ago. She is a soldier who is devoted to her clan. She specializes in martial arts and specially combat with melee weapons. The context is set in a modern era and she has ways to deal with ranged weapons/guns even without one. I’m still in very early stages to develop a story for her.
