- "Woden" is the Anglo-Saxon cognate of Óðinn.[1] It ultimately developed from the early Germanic Woðanaz, which in turn comes from pre-Germanic Wātónos. Woden’s name can be translated as 'Master of Ecstasy'.

The eleventh-century historian Adam of Bremen confirms this when he translates 'Odin' as 'The Furious'. Óðr can take countless different forms. As one saga describes Odin, "when he sat with his friends, he gladdened the spirits of all of them, but when he was at war, his demeanor was terrifyingly grim."[2]
