Odin Origin and Meaning

The name Odin is a boy's name of Scandinavian, Norse origin meaning "god of frenzy; poetic fury".

Odin is the name of the supreme Norse god of art, culture, wisdom, and law β€” who was handsome, charming, and eloquent into the bargain. The name projects a good measure of strength and power and has excellent assimilation potential.

The god Odin was referred to by more than 200 names, including Yggr, Sigfodr, and Alfodr β€” none of which is recommended. The word Wednesday is derived from Woden, the English form of Odin.

Odin came to be used as a Norwegian male given name beginning in the nineteenth century, originally in the context of a romantic Viking revival. In the 2001 novel American Gods by Neil Gaiman, the character called Wednesday is an incarnation of the god Odin.
