Yes, it exists. Example: “kolovrat” — neo-pagan slavic swastika. It means a sun, life, cycle

Apparently the swastika came from India where the Hindus used it as a symbol for good luck, which then spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world, carrying basically the same meaning until some failed artist from Austria decided to ruin it for everyone. By the way, the stigma around the symbol pretty much only exists in the west, as you can find temples in Asia bearing the symbol, and nobody would bat an eye.
