So Lawine's name means 'avalanche' while Kanne's name means 'can', as in a tin can. Although the deeper meaning of Lawine's name escapes me, Kanne's name can also be translated through the verb 'können', which means 'to be able', which I think represents a major part of her character arc.

Well jokes aside to be fair, there’s no actual numerical limitations or exclusivity towards who can pass this exam, nor any rules or factors that specifically require or force the mages to fight each other. The test is simply meant to be challenging and require unique moment-by-moment problem solving skills, but theoretically every team could’ve potentially passed by just catching their own Stille before time ran out. Provided there were enough present inside the barrier, of course. However the mages participating made the call *themselves* to go after other teams for their bird’s rather than try capturing one of their own.

In what way can Kanne be translated as to be able? I’m not aware of a relation to the verb können. In German Kanne almost exclusively is used for a container from which you can pour water or as you said a tin can. If we want to find a metaphorical reason for her to be named that is equate it to the water thing. There’s no relation to können however. The origin of the word Kanne likely comes from the Latin word canna (something like sugarcane, the English name escapes me, it’s Schilfrohr in German)
