Ovin

This name derives the Old Norse “Óðinn,” from the Proto-Norse “*Wōdin,” meaning “furious, eager, mad (Odin).” Odin is a major god in Norse mythology and the ruler of Asgard. the root is Homologous with the Old English “Wōden,” the Old Saxon “Wôdan” and the Old High German “Wôtan,” which in turn, derives from the Proto-Germanic “*Wodanaz” / “*Wōđanaz.” Wōdanaz is associated with poetic or mantic qualities, and his name is connected with the concept of *wōþuz, “furor poeticus” (poetic fury), and is thus the god of poets and seers. He is a shape-changer and healer, and therefore a god of magicians and leeches. He is associated with the Wild Hunt of a dead, and thus a death deity. He is also a god of war and a bringer of victory.
