Óöinn

Óöinn Origin and Meaning

The name óöinn is a boy's name.

óöinn is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Odin (or Óðinn), the principal deity in Norse mythology. The chief of the Aesir gods, Odin was associated with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet. This particular rendering with diacritical marks emphasizes the Old Norse pronunciation. While uncommon as a contemporary given name, interest in Norse mythology and Viking culture has sparked some revival in Scandinavian mythological names. Parents choosing this distinctive spelling might be particularly drawn to preserving linguistic authenticity or creating a strong connection to Norse heritage and its associations with wisdom and power.
