An uncommon Norse pick — distinctive and rare.
Woden/Odin, A major Germanic god, often described as chief of the pantheon.
Oden is a boy's baby name of Norse origin, an Anglicized variant of Odin, the all-father of Norse mythology, god of wisdom, war, and death. Odin sacrificed his eye at the Well of Mimir to gain cosmic knowledge, making this a name associated with wisdom, sacrifice, and power.
Oden is a slightly softer spelling that captures the mythological grandeur without the weightiness of the original.
Oden climbed 1747 spots in the last 20 years — from #3968 to #2221.
