Odin is Norse in Origin.
Odin is the Anglicized form of Old Norse Óðinn, from Proto‑Germanic *Wōđanaz, built on óðr, meaning “fury, ecstatic inspiration, mind,” plus an agentive element; it can be interpreted as “the inspired/frenzied one.” In Norse myth he is the Allfather, god of wisdom, war, poetry, and magic, accompanied by ravens Huginn and Muninn and associated with runes, sacrifice, and the quest for knowledge.
As a personal name, Odin saw little use in medieval Christian Scandinavia, where direct god-names were often avoided, but it was revived in the 19th‑century Romantic era and has surged in modern Scandinavia and the English‑speaking world since the 2000s. Variants and cognates include Óðinn (Icelandic), Odin (Norwegian/Danish), Oden (Swedish), Woden (Old English), Wodan/Wotan (Continental Germanic). Related feminine forms are Odina and Odine; short forms like Odi occur regionally. The name carries a bold, mythic tone while also linking to Wednesday (Woden’s day).
