Cavill's Instagram post labels Ciri's medallion symbol as Zireael, which takes the form of a swallow. In fact, in Elder Speech, Zireael translates swallow.

In the books, Zireael is a old gwyhyr sword forged by gnomes in Tir Tochair, and is given to Ciri as a gift. Ciri was forced to fight with this sword in the Claremont arena by Bonhart, whom she ultimately killed with Zireael. Ciri then takes three medallions from Bonhart, keeping one from the School of the Cat. While not actually her medallion in established lore, marketing Ciri with a Swallow symbol for the Netflix series makes sense for her character overall.

In the games, the sword Zireael is given to Geralt by Master Ort in one of the endings of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and is intended to be given to Ciri to start her career as a Witcher. When playable in The Witcher 3, Ciri's UI medallion is shown as a cat, calling back to the medallion she obtains in the books.
